Sounds like a 100% finance deal, and for someone who is new, I don't recommend it. Keep saving your money, and you will find another deal.

@Jonathan Plair Need more information, is this a flip or buy/hold.

If it is a buy/hold, you won't be able to find any lender that will lend you 100%. Getting money from HML is suicidal at 12%. You might consider a partner if you have good credit. They put the down payment and you put in the credit.

If you are flipping, you can utilize HML, but you need reserve or income to sustain the holding cost.

Good Luck!
