Chambers - this looks like the type of deals I am looking for in my market (Boise area). Did you ever get a response? In order to make my deals work I’d need to work in seller financing in some way to cover the down payment. Any info I can glean is useful, so I hope to see an answer on this one.

Structure Deal with 75% seller Financing - Posted by Chambers

Posted by Chambers on October 07, 2007 at 05:11:04:

Hello

I am interested in purchasing a multi unit(89 units) for 5.6M (in NY)for which the seller is willing to finance 75% (yes there is existing debt which includes prepayment penalty before 30 months) of the asking price , of course I have to come up with 25% (1.4M). I have some thought but not sure the best route to make it enticing for the seller to move towards maybe a 100% financing??..(I know I just bottom lined this scenario for you)

1.) create a 2nd and do a wrap

2.) create second sell note before closing

3.) create land contract on second refi later???

4.) Look for partner/s for downpay (where do I look)

5.) Lease purchase???

6.) Should I get an acquisition loan, bank loan for the …25%???

I know alot has changed in ref to lending, but I also know that new creative ideas have immured as well…looking for thoughts,suggestions, applications etc.

Thank you for allowing me to share my thoughts…this site is awesome.

Chambers,

First of all we donâ??t even know if this is a deal.

We donâ??t know the price verses market?

We donâ??t know the cash-flow, Gross Rents, NOI estimated Cap Rate etc.?

We donâ??t know the area, what part of NY?

We donâ??t know if there is up-side in the deal that will allow us to get out of the deal?

The only reason the seller is willing to carry or wrap the deal is because of the prepay.

Just having the seller carry-back a first of 75% is of no significance because you can easily find a lender to lend at 75%. If the seller carried 100% for 30 months and the price isnâ??t right , you may not have enough up-side to refinance the subject property to pay off the seller and the underlying loan.

Need more information.

Chambers, here are 18 basic fundamental questions I ask in order to get enough information to formulate how to approach or analyze a deal.

We need more information before we can go any further with your deal.
(1) Describe The Units and the surrounding area?
(2) How old are the units?
(3) What’s the unit mix ( how many 1 br. 2 br etc)
(4) What’s the vacancy factor in the area?
(5) What is the gross income of the units?
(6) What is the vacancy of the units?
(7) What is the NOI?
(8) What are market rents in the area?
(9) Are there any other Units in the area for sale?
(10) If so at what Price?
(11) What are the going Cap rates in the area on multiple units?
(12) Have any other Units in the area recently sold?
(13) If so at what price?
(14) How much does the seller owe on the units?
(15) If there is a loan, is it assumable?
(16) Will the seller carry a second?
(17) Is there any differed maintenance?
(18) If so, estimated cost of maintenance?

(19) How’s your credit?

If you answer these questions, then I can answer yours, with a meaningful answer.
Otherwise, it’s just, What ifs? or hypothetical.
