Current deal- looking for lenders who are comfortable with 20% seller financing in2nd

Hello,

I'm purchasing a FSBO, $485k purchase price in florida, single family, investment loan. Seller is fine being in second position to the bank with a $95k note, interest only, 7 year balloon, no PPP.

Current bank i'm talking with offers great rates but still wants 15% down of my own money.

Looking for better. I've called local banks and loan officers are asking around, but not finding much.

I would've thought that the seller note would at least halve my portion for the down payment (going to STR it part of the year so need cash for furnishing etc.)

Would love some guidance on who to reach out to, or if the deal with 20% seller financing won't fly.

-Allison

    Hey Allison, there are definitely banks out there that will be okay with seller seconds, but they will typically still want a portion of skin into the game (I see 10% - 15% typically) want lender are you working with now in FL that gave you those terms?

    i'd be happy with 10% with the above terms and investment loan. I see you're in sarasota, should i give you a call?

    Yes we have a process where you can take advantage of the seller second to satisfy the down payment requirement. Shoot me a DM and we can get it set up
