Got a call from a seller.

3bedroom, 2 bath brick house, 1200sq. ft.
Loan balance 86,000
payment $1100.00 per month (ouch)
3 months behind in payments.

How would you proceed?

You might ask him if hes willing to deed you the property (Subject 2). Include a clause in the contract that you wont make a payment until you get a buyer.

Now sell home for 105K (10% higher than appraisal)
ask for 6K down. Carry 99K. With the DP pay the arrears and keep the rest. Make a balloon payment for 1-2 yrs and get cashed out for teh remainder.

To get a buyer place an ad that says:

NON QUALIFYING!!
6K Down 1,200 Mo
3bd/2ba 1,200 SQ,FT.
555-5555

If you need help let me know.

This deal is too thin for one at your level of experience. I know where you’re at because your’re asking how to proceed. Any profits are on the spread. Rents might not support the property and a vacancy would be a killer. I’d look for something better.

RUN, don’t walk away from this. It IS NOT a deal worth pursuing, unless the seller comes up with the back payments

Actually, the monthly payment is only $764.00

The bank wants them to pay 1100.00 per month until they are caught up.
