How to Use the Seller Finance Calculator

1. Seller Financed Property Price: Enter the price at which you plan to sell your property to establish the deal’s baseline. The purchase or sale price is the most important thing to decide on between sellers and buyers.
2. Buyer Down Payment: Input the upfront cash you want to receive to reduce the loan amount and secure immediate funds. This is how much money the buyer will give you when the loan has started.
3. Seller Financed Interest Rate: Set the annual interest rate you wish to charge to maximize your income over the loan term. This functions the same as a conventional mortgage.
4. Seller Financed Loan Term: Specify the loan duration in years to determine how quickly you want to be repaid. This is how long the loan will be between the buyer and seller and is a major factor in setting what the monthly payment will be.
5. Balloon Payment Options: Choose a balloon payment to accelerate loan payoff and receive a lump sum sooner. The balloon payment is very important, as it is when the rest of the payments are due to be completely paid off by the buyer. 
6. Advanced Features: Utilize amortization schedules, interest-only payments, adjustable rates, and payment frequency options to customize your financing terms. Since the seller is becoming the lender, it is important that they understand what is going on

Please reach out to us to discuss if we can make your seller financing dream come true! Also it is important to note, if your property still has a traditional mortgage or has been refinanced, we can still purchase it, however it depends on what your mortgage rate is and the purchase price.

We make payments directly to you the seller through a 3rd party payment company, so that everything always gets paid on time and adheres to the repayment schedule and payment terms as we understand our sellers rely on our payments for their retirement.
