Need Advice For My First Deal.
i have a seller who said he would hold a mortgage
for me. how would i go about structuring a deal? the seller needs 10% down. any advice regarding terms and interest? i want to be fair ,but i also don't want to be too generous. any help would be greatly appreciated.
It's hard to give advice without details.
What is the owner offering?
What are the property details?

depends on what you want to do with the property. but I would start off asking the int rate to whatever the current rate is now. granted he may say no, but its a good starting point. have the term be 30 years but you may want to have a 5 or 10 year balloon due, that may help your offer.
the property is a 2bdrm/2bth condo. he's asking $99,000. he's open to rent to own/lease option/owner financing..i have 5000 to put down..would i be better off lease optioning or would it be better to put that money down and doing a contract for deed? with some paint and some carpets i could ask at least $125,000 . any suggestions?
thanks for the replies
