Home Equity Purchase
Creative Bad Credit Financing Method #4

Home equity purchase can be used as a form of home financing in which the value of the property less any mortgages or liens. Create a promissory note and mortgage on the existing equity you have in an asset (home, boat, investment property, automobile, vacant land, etc.) and use it as a down payment on another property you are maximizing buying leverage. 

Let look at how to use equity in one property to purchase another. Assume that you have located a two family property that is on the market for $60,000, with an existing $25,000 mortgage. Therefore, the seller's equity is $35,000 ($60,000 less $25,000). Create a promissory note and mortgage in the amount of $15,000 secured by equity in one of your assets. Use that as a down payment on the two family property, and ask the seller to take a $45,000 wrap-around mortgage for the balance. (Wrap-around mortgages are discussed in "Technique Three"). When you buy the two family property, you will immediately have $15,000 equity in the property because of the $15,000 down payment.

The home equity mortgage that you are creating on your asset should have a substitution of collateral clause, allowing you to later move that mortgage from your assets to another property where you have equivalent or greater equity. Thus, you might use equity in your own home to buy investment property "A;" your equity in "A" to buy "B" to buy "C;" and then, by the substitution of collateral clause, move the mortgage from your own personal residence to your most recent purchase, property "C". If the seller or the two family property, Property "A," is concerned about not receiving any cash at the time of close, the note and mortgage can be converted into cash by selling them to someone else.
