For many it's the only option to grow a portfolio faster, but I don't know any lender who would do 100% financing for a new investor. 100% of purchaseprice is okay, as long as it's not 100% of market value.Real estate investing is all about equity.

Yes, primarily looking for options to get the down payment.

The second option was 10% down 90% seller financing with 60 month balloon.

What’s your process for evaluating whether a property fits a lease option or seller-finance buyer?

Option 2) Find a co-borrower who has cash and is willing to pay cash and you do the work.

Traditional financing is just too slow for most flips right now.Private lenders who maintain conservative underwriting are still funding strong deals without much slowdown.

@Sharlene Morales seller financing, assumable loans, it all possible.  

Hey Brendan, yes, seller financing options would help defer / spread the capital gains and they can collect the interest.

Contract for Deed or Land Contract are other options for creative finance. 

.: I was asked by a new to real estate couple, to compare doing a 20% cash down, Buy & Hold Rental property using conventional financing and buying Subject To and selling to a Tenant Buyer with creative finance and what that would look like.This is an actual deal I did.
