Harrison Retail for Sale - Kootenai
Seller Financing Example for $875,000 Sale Price
Sale Price: $875,000
Down Payment: Minimum $200,000 (22.86% of $875,000)
Loan Amount: $875,000 – $200,000 = $675,000
Terms: Interest-only, amortized over 30 years, due in five years (balloon payment), no points or fees, with the seller matching or beating a verifiable bank/FHA/SBA interest rate. If the buyer is in good standing at the end of the five-year term, the seller will offer an option for an additional five-year extension at the current rate (e.g., 6.5% or the negotiated rate), structured as a new agreement, which may include a further five-year extension option as long as the buyer remains in good standing.
Interest Rate: Assuming a buyer provides a verifiable SBA loan offer at 6.5% (typical for commercial properties in 2025), the seller matches this at 6.5%.
Annual Interest Payment:
$675,000 × 0.065 = $43,875/year
Monthly Payment: $43,875 ÷ 12 = $3,656.25
Balloon Payment: After five years, the full principal of $675,000 is due. For reference, a fully amortizing 30-year loan at 6.5% would have a monthly payment of ~$4,264; the interest-only structure saves ~$608/month.
Extension Option:
If the buyer is in good standing (e.g., timely payments, no defaults), the seller will offer a new five-year agreement at 6.5% (or the negotiated rate), interest-only, due in five years (year 10), with the potential for additional five-year extensions under similar terms while the buyer remains in good standing.
Total Payments Over Initial Five Years:
Annual: $43,875 × 5 = $219,375 (interest only)
Down Payment: $200,000
Total Paid (excluding balloon): $200,000 + $219,375 = $419,375
Remaining Obligation: $675,000 (due in year five, extendable if in good standing)
Buyer Benefits:
No points or fees (saving ~$13,500–$20,250 vs. SBA loan fees of 2–3%).
No appraisal required (saving ~$3,000–$5,000).
