0% interest Seller Financing - Need Advice
Was thinking of selling a property I own outright …but for principal payments only type structure.
Market value is $260k but I’d like to get 345k (sale price) with a 3 year balloon (15 year amort) .. I’m building the interest into that sale price.
260k at 11% with 3 year balloon
Vs
345k at 0% with 3 year balloon
What are some key risks to keep in mind about seller financing at 0% interest?
I’ve read about imputed interest and deed in lieu. Is there anything else that can protect me if borrower doesn’t perform? My biggest concern is having to foreclose to get the property back in a condition where I lose all the money I made in trying to fix it up. Worst case scenario.
Note holders - what are your experiences?
Edit - major challenge - I can’t deal directly in interest. Religious reasons. Hence the reason to build it in to my sale price. My bad I didn’t mention that. And property is fully furnished.
