Suggestions For Creative Purchasing On This SFR
Hi all,
I have been looking for a home for my primary residence for some time in a particular area. I found a place that might work for me, but I would like input as to structuring the deal to my advantage. Here are some of the numbers:
Ask price: 1.365 million
FMV: 1.1 – 1.15 million
Days on market over 200
The owner owes 950k on a 1st, 215k on a second. She paid 1.23 million and owes her mom at least the rest, probably more. She purchased at a time when the market was skyrocketing, and immediately after she got in, it slowed. She needs out because she is in over her head.
Current market is flat with some reductions. Higher inventory than normal, but not Vegas or Phoenix style heavy.
I was thinking of taking it subject to the existing financing on the 1st & 2nd? I would be paying FMV, but I could probably walk in for nothing down.
I’m open to anything creative including a partnership with her as long as she deeds it over to me.
Outside the box thinkers….any ideas?
Thanks, Brian
Is she in arrears with the mortgages?
If so, you could possibly do a shortsale to get the balances down, especially on the 2nd mtg to create some equity.
If not, nothing down deals really depends on your credit & if you can show income or not.
Either way, good luck.
Since you are making the payment you get to deduct the int (from the day you closed on Sub2 purchase).
