# 18 – SharedAppreciation Mortgage
When the market is appreciating rapidly it is sometimes difficult to convince a seller to sell on reasonable terms, or to carry back ownerfinancing. One approach to this is to create a“ SharedAppreciation Mortgage” which the seller carries back. Usually, it involves a low interest rate, but then gives the seller a percentage of the profit at the end of the loan term. This approach also works well in a high interest rate environment because it helps the buyer achieve a reasonable cash flow to sustain the property. A“ standard form” for this type loan is not normally available, so it ' s best to have an attorney draw one up, or customize an existing one.
