Five inputs, headline answer. These are the same fields as the full breakdown below, so everything stays in sync.
Percent and dollar fields are linked — edit either one.
The seller's note replaces the down payment and the transactional funder is repaid.
Repaid out of the seller's proceeds at the moment the seller note is recorded. If the note is smaller than the down payment, the difference is yours to bring.
Set each lien's terms. A 0% / 0-year seller note is a silent second.
Can a refi clear both liens, or do you bring cash?
Add a scenario in the tab bar, tweak it, and compare. Best value in each row is highlighted.
The seller agrees to hold a 2nd-position note equal to (or near) the buyer's down payment.
A DSCR lender funds the 1st lien (commonly 75–80%, sometimes 85%). A transactional funder fronts the disclosed down payment for one day.
The seller's note is recorded and replaces the down payment. The transactional funder is repaid from the seller's proceeds the same day.
You hold title with a 1st lien (DSCR) and a 2nd lien (seller carry). Your cash in is fees, not a down payment.
Educational model, not a term sheet.
