by David E. Williams

One concept that has been around forever is no money down real estate investing. It is simple in concept and execution and simply means that the main investor has not put up any of his or her own money. There may still be a down payment, but this comes from creative financing or another investor.

For example, if the purchase price is $111K and the bank requires a down payment of 10%, you will request the seller provide the down payment amount of $11K. The end result of this successful method is that you effectively purchase the property for the mortgage balance of $100K.

Another form of seller assisted financing you could utilize is having a seller that agrees to lease you a piece of property instead of them selling it to you.

In this method you are then to take control of the property and can fix it up to sell it or else lease it to another individual.

For many people starting up in the real estate investing field, methods of investing without a down payment can eliminate the need for large amounts of capital to provide down payments, initial closing fees and other such barriers to investment in property.
