Real estate investment is one of the best investments one can ever make. It is ever-evolving industry that may require a substantial amount to invest. Nevertheless, there are other ways to buy a property with little or no money. Here are a few guide that will help you.
Seller financing
Seller financing is also known as owner financing or purchase money mortgage. It is a real estate agreement where the seller handles the Purchase mortgage instead of a financial institution. Instead of applying for a commercial bank mortgage, the buyers signs a mortgage with the sellers. Sellers financing involves few or no closing cost and may not require any appraisal. Sellers financing is necessary when the buyers find it difficult to get a loan due to a poor credit. In seller financing, sellers can expect to get premium sales for offering to finance i.e they are more likely to get their asking price in the buyer’s market.
Lease
This is an option in real estate investment that gives renters the choice to buy a the property during or at the end of the rental period. Here the owner forfeits the right to sell the property to anyone else during the lease term and in exchange, the renter pays an upfront option fee and often a highly monthly payment.
Partnership
Partnership is necessary when the amount needed for the real estate purchase is quite out of reach and you decide to combine with other individual(s) with similar interest. An agreement is made as to the effect of equity.
Money lenders
This is when buyers borrow money from other sources than cooperate organization. This money may come from groups or private organizations. Since these kinds of loans does not come from cooperate organization like banks, it does not necessarily go through cooperate procedures and as such needs fewer qualifications. This in turn means they can be secured fast and private lenders may be willing to back up risky projects. Since lenders are willing to take risk, interest rates are usually high and terms are usually 12months or less.
With little or no money you can invest or buy a real estate property without stress. It is a good idea because real estate has a unique combination of steady cashflow and strong odds of capital gain. You can also generate a passive income which in a long run can become a good investment as the property value increase. Remember, real estate does not depreciates, it always increases when investments are made wisely.
