I purchased the house as a 50/50 partner with my grandmother. The loan terms were a 10/20 loan (interest only the first 10 years, 20 year traditional, rate fixed across the 30). I understand the risks of this type of loan and I will be putting money away in investments to offset my lack of Principal. My goal is to buy out my Grandmother is 10 years, or sell and we split the profits and then I'll have enough in savings and earned to do a full purchase on my own.
We got the house for about $50k under the comps (we set the lowest price on the block). The owner had a previous offer fall through and needed to sell with a quick escrow. -- [[Your signature here]] |
