- The funds left in the deal by the seller are secured by a second mortgage or caveat over the property being sold.
- Guaranteed
- Provided that the tenant has paid all funds owed to the purchaser (the new owner) on time, the purchaser fails to pay the seller moneys owed within 30 days of the date that any moneys are due, the purchaser guarantees to allow the seller to purchase the property back from the buyer at the original purchase price, not including acquisition costs until such time as the purchaser rectifies any payment default.
Flexible terms to suit seller's needs
Rent offset
- Decreased rent payments because offset by return from income from vendor terms
- Receiving income for the funds left in the deal offsets some of the rental costs usually incurred by a tenant, improving tenant's cash flow.
- So the tenant is now receiving a large chunk of capital from the sale, and receiving some cash flow from the amount being financed.
- The income received by the seller results in an improved cash flow position as it offsets some of the rent payable.
