Recently, however, the average investor (consumer) has come to rely on creative personal financing methods as a way to avoid the cost of borrowing money from institutional lenders (banks, savings and loans, etc.) and to overcome unaffordable monthly home finance loan payments. Even people with good credit and money realize that if they can purchase property with very little or no money down and keep their monthly payments low, they have made a good real estate investment even better, and yes you don't need to attend real estate school to apply these techniques.

Leverage is a term that means getting a little to do a lot. In investment real estate financing, leverage is the use of other people’s cash. When the leverage is 100%, no money down, it means getting other people’s cash to do everything. If you invest $10,000 to purchase a $400,000 property and the property generates a total return of $40,000 per year, you have, through leverage, earned four times or a whooping 400% per year on your investment ($40,000 divided by $10,000). If you purchased the same property “no money down”, your return of $40,000 would have been infinity.

What kind of properties lend themselves to this kind of home finance? The answer is that all properties do. You may also be wondering what kind of a seller would be willing to sell properties this way. The answer is that many sellers will and do.

Home Finance And Investment Real Estate Financing Misconceptions ...

Home seller gets no cash.

Home seller gets zip, nothing, no cash, is one of the big misconceptions that you may have when you purchase property with no money down. While this is true with some of the techniques, there are many that allow the seller to leave the closing table wearing a rather large smile and with cash in his/her pocket. The best part is that the cash doesn’t come out of your pocket. Hope your smiling!

The seller must be a down and outer.

Flexible home seller financing exist for many reasons; not all of them are down on their luck. As a matter of fact, one of the best no money down purchases that I have seen first hand was from a good friend who closed a deal on a two family home, which she purchased from a man who had accepted a position on the west coast. His job required that he move away from St. Louis, and he was interested in selling all of his property in as short a time as possible. She heard about this seller and was able to come to terms with him to buy his property after just several hours.

This was not at all an unusual situation. As a matter of fact, a case could probably be made, that more flexible sellers exist because of emotional dissatisfaction with the property or their life situation, than flexible sellers who are down on their luck and open to any type of investment real estate financing.

The techniques will not work with inflexible sellers.

Because home sellers can walk way from a closing table with cash in their pockets, you can purchase a seller’s property creatively even though the seller was inflexible and interested in a more conventional sale.

The other important thing to remember is that while a seller is inflexible today (or so the seller may say), that situation may well change within a few days or weeks. Seller’s circumstances, emotions, and needs change rapidly. A seller may be inflexible today, and yet very eager to sell the property creatively tomorrow.
