Under the former guidelines, the seller note must be on Full Standby (no principle or interest payments) until the SBA Loan was paid in full.

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today.

In reply to Mike Ford. Dodd-Frank has lots of positive things if they were acted on. It’s too long and not clear enough. However, that’s not the focus right now. The focus is eliminating appraisers and replacing them with 3rd party inspectors. The 5% total might change to 50% plus in the next few years. That’s a problem. And yes, I still have a problem with the total AMC model, especially the six given the keys to the kingdom.

Buyer’s that file complaints like these are picking on the one neutral party that has nothing to gain. If anything we backstop them from making a poor decision. Does the lender, AMC or the realtors do this? No! They have skin in the game. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve seen the buyer’s agent lure their client into what was clearly a bad deal.
