Hello, I'm thinking about including a full standby seller note as part of a deal structure and I wanted to make sure I'm understanding the process correctly.

Example (numbers are completely made up, don't read into them too literally)
-$1M purchase price
-$100K in closing costs
-$100K in cash reserves
-10% full standby note.
-5% down payment (allowed since full standby note helps the loan get above 10% equity injection)

In this example, I'm guessing it would be structured as:
-$1M - $100K (seller note) = $900K
-$900K + $100K in closing costs + $100K in cash reserve = $1.1M
-5% down payment on $1.1M = $55,000.

Am I applying the down payment on the correct amount? Is that the correct way to calculate down payment when full standby is involved?

It would be $60k. It’s based off full project costs, so the $1.2mm in this case no matter what the seller financing structure is.
