How can I invest in real estate with $0 money down?
Banks are asking for 20% down. I have good credit but, no down payment. I appreciate any advice I can get!

I am an experienced lender in the Washington DC area with a large national bank and I can tell you 100% financing IS still possible, but you need good to very good credit to obtain them (over 640 score, if you would like a competitive rate). Also, you need to factor in the price of the home, you should be under the conforming loan limit ($417,000) if you plan on getting 100% loans in this market since that is the appetite the banks have right now. I am not sure which state you are trying to buy in, however, depending on your particular housing market, the sellers may also be willing to contribute between 3-6% of the sales price towards your closing costs, which would truly give you a "0" down loan. You should also consider the fact that you will more than likely require to pay monthly PMI (private mortgage insurance) with that loan, since you are not putting down 20%. Good luck!

You can not invest with borrowed money, an INVESTEMENT is taking your own money and earning additional money with it. Your "investment" will be the bank earning interest.

If you really want to invest in real estate you have to look for the long term and for that to happen and for you not to get into trouble the 100% has to make sense. If you dont have positive cash flow wherever you are trying to invest, forget it. If you are just hoping for appreciation which is what many speculators did, you are not investing, you are gambling.

Get together with a Realtor/investor that can show you what real estate investing means so you dont get into trouble.

As far as getting 100%, I am pretty sure you may be able to find it although it is hard to do for an "investment" property, but the interest you will end up paying wont be worth the "gamble".

Some sellers will pay your closing costs (particularly in this slow market) and some lenders will finance the entire value (100% loan). Then you will be a "owner" with no money down -- just a mortgage payment, taxes, upkeep, etc.

Have you asked the seller to finance? Will the property have positive cash flow if you put no money down?

It will be very hard given the current subprime fallout. Lenders are looking for excellent credit and substantial down payments.

Your first step should be to own a home to live in yourself. You can get a home with little or no down payment if you are going to live in it.

Once you have a home that has a substantial equity you can borrow against that to buy your fist rental house. That is how I did it. Now I use my rent money to come up with the twenty percent down payment on any new rent houses I buy. It takes a long time to work your way up...but remember it is one day at a time. I bought my first rent house in 1983 and it was twenty years before I had the guts to buy the second one but now I own seven and I will own more as soon as the rental account builds up and allows me to have the down payment.

You missed the boat.

No money down deals have gone the way of the DoDo bird.

Lenders today wont do any more risky loans.

Your only hope is that your state offers "First Time Homebuyer" programs.

That's where you typically get 5% down for closing costs and prepaids.

These are set up as grants and DO NOT have to be paid back.

Here is the program for Arizona.

You can still get 100% financing if you have good credit and it's not hard at all. (Depending on where you are buying) Many will say it's a bad idea to do 100% financing and that is true if you have unreal expectations. The problem before was with letting "anyone with a pulse" get 100% financing. If you have control over your financial situation and have realistic goals and a plan for the future, 100% financing can be right for you. Speak with an experienced broker about your situation and they can find what's best for you.
