Structuring Deal ??? - Posted by Ryan (Atlanta)

I want to buy a home in Georgia and I’m trying to develop creative ways to structure the balance of the deal with collateral.

House: $327,000
Earnest: $5,000
Value of area: $375,000 - 400,000
Cash down: $10,000

Lender will only give 65-70% LTV and we need to find other collateral to make up the difference:

We have an exist. home with:

mortgage: $140,000
Value of area: $180,000
Equity: $40,000

Deal thus far is :

327,000

  • 55,000 (downpayment, earnest money, 1st home equity)
    =272,000

327,000

  • .70% LTV
    =228,900

so

272,000- 228,900 = $43,100 in collateral to be structured

Seller can’t hold a 2nd
What other creative ways can the deal be structured ?

Rather than lose the deal, consider getting a partner. Find someone that is more knowledgable about real estate than you and has money to invest. Obviously, you will lose half the profits but won’t have half as much work to do and exposure financially.

Here is something that is real creative. Have the seller refinance the house for $327,000 and let you take the loan subject to. Or use a land contract. This allow the seller to get their cash, and you to get in with no liability! It’s worth running by the seller. Goodluck.
