Can You Really Buy Real Estate with No Money Down?
Absolutely! With the right strategies and an understanding of what the seller and other parties want, you can purchase real estate with no money down. Here's how to make it happen.
Understanding "No Money Down"
When people hear "no money down," they often think it means zero payment at closing. In reality, it's uncommon for a seller to receive nothing upfront. Typically, sellers expect some payment to showcase the sale and cover costs, like paying the realtor.
Banks usually won't finance 100% of a property's purchase price, especially for investment properties. So, how do you manage to buy real estate with no money out of your pocket? The key is understanding the desires of the parties involved and finding a creative way to meet those needs.
Creative Financing Techniques
"No money down" means that the down payment isn't coming from your own pocket. So, where does it come from? Get creative and explore various options.
A Real-World Example
An investor discovered a fixer-upper but couldn't secure financing. He chose to assign his contract to another investor for $6,000, having initially invested only a $500 “good faith” deposit, potentially from a credit card cash advance. The new investor, seeing a $20,000 profit potential, was happy to pay $6,000 for the contract. This approach is known as "flipping."
The second investor had the means to fund the deal, ensuring the seller got their cash and the bank secured a solid loan. The first investor's key move was finding a good deal and ensuring the contract allowed for assignment or partnerships.
More Strategies for No Money Down
If you want to achieve a purchase, renovation, and sale without using your own funds, consider finding a partner. Investors are often eager to finance profitable renovations in exchange for a share of the profits. A good deal attracts people willing to invest their money.
Another Scenario
Imagine you find a landlord ready to sell a rundown house for $80,000. With $6,000 in repairs, it can be sold for $116,000. After calculating all costs, there's a $25,000 profit potential. How can you manage this with no money?
Offer the seller more than they want?"say, $85,000 with a $500 good faith deposit from a credit card advance. Propose $5,000 down with no payments for a year, and a 7% interest rate on the remaining balance. Why would they agree?
Explain that they'll earn more than their asking price and additional interest. The house’s value will increase with your renovations. If one seller declines, keep searching until you find one who agrees.
Next, locate an investor with $16,000 for the down payment and repair costs. You’ll invest none of your own money and split the profits. Complete the project efficiently, and you both earn over $10,000.
Conclusion
The seller receives more than they asked, your investor enjoys a profitable return, and you earn substantial profits without investing a dime. By understanding and satisfying everyone’s needs, you can successfully execute a no money down deal.
