    Has anyone every heard of a scheme like this? I dreamt it up last night after a bottle of red

    House Purchase $400,000

    Offer to vendor …. Pay full asking price on 20% Vendor finance payable in full in 2 years (with no interest)

    Vendor Finance = $80,000
    Loan from bank = $320,000
    Closing costs = $15,000 approx

    Cash needed = $15,000

    If the vendor agrees, then they would hold a 2nd mortgage over the property. The $80,000 is payable in 2 years.

    I know many vendors would say "no thanks"…. but some might be open to it if they are not getting any offers.

    In 2 years it may be possible to refinance and pay the vendor through borrowed funds.

    Brilliant? Or dreaming?

    Hi

    This is fairly common. I have a friend buying the commercial shop which they are renting by using this method – and they will be paying less than the rent they are paying now and will end up with the property.
