It is a sign of the madness of the time we live in.Read carefully what it says.By the end of 2012, some $153 billion in loans that make up CMBS are coming due, and close to $100 billion of that will face difficulty getting refinanced, according to Deutsche Bank.

With that much down, you should be in the driver's seat, unless the property is marketable conventionally....if the seller advertised seller financing or it is ojn the listing, they expect to see such deals.I would not be afraid to walk away if your terms were not met, let the seller think about and lose sleep, then go back, maybe a little lower and come back up later on...whatever.If you don't have any credit issues that loan should go out at least three years, in fact a few months over might be better, like 40 months.
