Short explainer by a single speaker about risks when monthly payment amounts can’t be negotiated: a persistent monthly payment gap (example: ~$6,000/month) can accrue massive interest and a shortage true-up that destroys the deal—speaker gives an example where ~$637,000 of interest accrues and a large end-of-term payoff is required after eight years. The piece warns that such deal structures leave buyers over-leveraged and unable to exit without restructuring.

About $6,000 per month.

$637,000.

So if you get to, let's say you like really can't negotiate around this monthly payment, the seller wants 738-7000-3389. And you're like, hey, I can only give you 750. That means you guys have a gap of $6,000 a month. Now I know just by math, this gap is so large that you would be so over leveraged at the end of those eight years, like you're going to have a problem. You wouldn't be able to ex out of this without like holding back all your surplus funds or restructuring this deal to make them have like way less cash. That means, you know, you have a gap that you need to close of over $6,000. What this does here, this include shortage true up if you select. Yes. If we look at what just happened, look at this right here. The shortage payoff we just accrued. We're basically, this is here like this just blew up our whole deal. So at the end of eight years, I'm going to pay you all your interest that had been accruing every single month at the very end. And you can see now that we've accrued $637,000 of interest and now you have to write a very, very large check and you've just, you've basically just killed your deal.
