Hi BPer,

Please help, is this worth it as either a flip or rent/hold

I've meet a owner(free and clear) of a single family who suggest to me he'll do owner finance even though i told him i can qualify for conventional loan and have the 20% down payment. He sent me an excel sheet of property below. Property is in Lowell, MA 01854 close to Lowell General Hospital.  

Purchase price of $250k, $50k down, 4.5% ( ARV ~ $325k, dont know cost to fix yet)

Bank Mortgage payment - amortized 30 Years (principle and interest) $1,013
 
Water $ Sewage ( Annual $800) $67
 
R/E Tax (Annual $4264) $355
 
Insurance (Annual $1400) $117
Estimated total monthly cash outlay $1,552
 
 
Rent $1,775
Net cash inflow $223
 
 
Balloon Payment due 2028 $ 155,123

@Zico George Are you receiving any benefit from his structure? Lower down payment than 20%? Lower rate then what you are finding elsewhere? 

Why would you ever complicate the structure if you can afford to do this a traditional route unless you are receiving some benefit or help on a loan that you otherwise couldn't afford?
