Creative Real Estate Financing
1. Creative Real Estate Financing
Do the creative real estate financing techniques you hear about really work? Yes and no. They likely
have all worked somewhere for someone at least once. The important point is to understand the
principles involved, so you can find your own creative ways to invest in real estate. Here are ten
methods to get you thinking.
1. Use hard money lenders. Ask around or find these online. These lenders specialize in short-term
loans at high interest. Typically, you use this type of financing for a "fix and flip." You can get the money
fast, and if you make $30,000 on a project, who cares if you paid $10,000 interest in six months?
2. No-doc or low-doc loans. With these loans, no (or low) documentation of your income or credit is
required. You can find banks that do these online now. You'll only be able to borrow 70% to 80% of the
purchase price or property value. However, if you have 10% in cash, you might be able to borrow the
other 10% or 20% from a friend or the seller.
3. Seller financing help. Sometimes a bank will loan you 90%, and allow the seller to take back a second
mortgage from you for 5%, leaving you needing only 5% for a down payment.
4. Land contract or "contract for sale." Called other names as well, this just means the seller lets you
make payments, and delivers the title upon payment in full. I sold a rental this way for $1,000 down,
because I wanted the 9% interest, and the higher price I got.
5. Credit card advances. Suppose a seller will take $10,000 down on a fixer-upper that you expect to
make $20,000 on. Why not use credit cards? If your card limits allow for repair money too, this is a true
0-down deal for you, and if you turn the project in six months, you will have paid maybe $1,000 or
$2,000 in interest on an 18% credit card. Don't let $1,000 get in the way of making $20,000.
6. Use your retirement accounts. The laws are pretty complex in this area, but you can check with a tax
attorney to see how you might borrow from your own retirement account to finance real estate
investments.

2. 7. Borrow from friends and family. If you go this route, keep it all business. In any cae,
loaning you money at 7% isn't a gift if their money is getting 2% in the bank.
8. Use real estate note buyers. Suppose the seller needs cash. He raises the price, and sells to you for
$100,000 with no money down, taking back two mortgages from you for $90,000 and $10,000. He
arranged (or you did) for a note buyer to pay him $80,000 cash for the first mortgage at closing, getting
him the cash he wanted. You pay two payments now, one to each note holder, but you got in with no
money down.
9. Borrow on another property. If you take out a home equity loan for a vacation, and then forget to use
it for that, you can later use the money for the down payment on an investment property, without
violating the rules of the bank that gives you the primary mortgage. In other words, you got in with no
cash of your own.
10. Start partnerships. For bigger projects, you could arrange for five investors to each put money into a
partnership, with your share being the management responsibility instead of cash.
Remember, these ten creative real estate financing techniques are just to get you started.
