Hugh,
Nothing like waiting to the last minute. Your numbers look fine although I hope that the loan balance includes back payments and fees. My concern is TIME. It looks to me as though your seller has been procrastinating and now it seems that you have little time for a lender to do, do diligence. They would more than likely need at least an appraisal, and title policy. If this were my deal, I would find out what it would take to bring the first current and go that route. Instead of going hard money, I would find a small investor and share the deal with them.
If you like, you can call me today, and I will see if I can find someone in your area who has attended one of my workshops to look at this deal with you. My number is (909) 944-0199. If you have a hard moneylender who can close quickly, you better move now.
