In this case, the Buyer would get the benefit of the lower interest rate on the first Mortgage, while paying a 10.5% market rate of interest on the second mortgage; or

If Option 2 is chosen, the Investor will receive at closing the sum of $550,000 in cash, and will « hold paper » for $1,650,000 bearing interest of 9% (desirable to Buyer because it is .5% less than market, and results in a monthly payment of only $14,, an amount $ per month less than available at the hypothetical current market rate of 9.5%).
