Need A Little Help On This Deal!

djames67 profile photo

I have a friend of the family who is about to go into foreclosure on his home. he is about to walk away from the whole thing and take a loss, but he is willing to let me purchase the property from him. it has a remaining mortgage of $112,000. He just wants to break even, so he is asking $112,000 for it. what would be a good way to purchase this property for a little money(or no money at all) down as possible?

If anybody at there as any suggustion , I am open to them

    What is the property worth?

    How much to bring the loan current?

    Does the $112K include all late payments, missed payments and bank fees?

    What are you planning to do with the property once you own it?

    the property is worth $135K.
    the seller is going to bring all the payments current as we speak.
    there are also no liens or back taxes.
    I plan on turning it for a quick profit. will only rent if i can't find a seller fast.

    Gesh, if the seller can afford to bring all the payments current, why is he selling?

    Anyway, it sound like you may want to do a Sub2 deal if he is looking to get just what he has in it.

    You will buy the property subject 2 him bringing the loan current and leaving the loan in place. You will give him no money, but will releive him of his home loans. You may want to offer $500 bucks or something to help with the move or as a deposit at his new place he is renting.

    You then sell the place OWC for the full price, with a call in a few years to force them to refinance and cash out.

    You could also Lease/option if you wanted.

    the seller has a couple more pieces of property that he owns and is payin on, so he would rather part w/ the home. what is "OWC" ?

    And after I sell the property, would i then ask the buyers to refinance?

    owner will carry (OWC)

    You could sell the home outright, but there may be some seasoning issues with some lenders, but if you have a good mortgage broker they should be able to get around that.

    If you carry the loan, you can get a good down payment in your pocket and then have a 3 or 5 year call in the mortgage to force them to refinance so you can get cashed out.

    Ohhhhhhhhh!!!! that helps out alot!!!

    I can see it clearer now! I do a sub2 making sure that he has everything current upon the sell. after cleaning the home up a bit, I resell it. I don't believe that i will have a seasoning issue w/ my lender, neting the expenses that it toke to get the home.

    Why don't you try to do a short sale first... Get the deed, contact the bank, talk to the loss mitigation department, do a hard-ship letter, etc.... If you can get a low BPO to come in you might even get a better deal and your buddy can keep his money....

    Even if not a true SS, just try to get them to forgive the accured late payments if you pay it off so your buddy won't have to pay anything to bring it current.
