No money down duplex purchase! Woohoo! What am I missing?
I had a conversation with an off-market seller of a duplex near Salem, Oregon. Due to the purchase/rent ratio not being conducive to putting 20% down, I offered to purchase with them carrying 30%. All I pay is some closing costs and run with it (tenants already in place).
What fine print should I be sure to include in my "official" offer other than the standard things like buyer to do due diligence, must be satisfied with inspections, etc.?

First, run that by your lender for the first Mtg. Most will require you to put at least 10% in, and may have other restrictions.
