If I had a home that was worth 200,000 and I had a buyer for it that was only approved for 80%, could I hold a note for the other 20% so that the loan could get approved, or would they want the 20% to be cash?

If it had to be cash, could we secure a personal loan before they close on the house for the 20% amount then after the deal closed file the 20% loan as a 2nd mortgage? Since the 20% would really be going to me anyways as the seller?

Thanks,
Richard

  • However it is structured this is a 20% vendors deposit - not acceptable to the purchaser's lenders.
