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.
