You want to buy a house that costs $320,000. You have $32,000for a down payment, but your credit is such that mortgage companieswill not lend you the required $288,000. However, the realtorpersuades the seller to take a $288,000 mortgage (called a sellertake-back mortgage) at a rate of 5%, provided the loan is paid offin full in 3 years. You expect to inherit $320,000 in 3 years, butright now all you have is $32,000, and you can afford to makepayments of no more than $25,000 per year given your salary. (Theloan would call for monthly payments, but assume end-of-year annualpayments to simplify things.)
