that the price a property is listed for is seldom the same price it is sold for. Once a seller begins to accept this fact, accompanied with having a need or desire of wanting to sell their property quickly, you have a formula for a seller which is likely to pay a buyer's down payment. Paying a buyer's down payment can be beneficial to both the seller as well as the buyer because in certain situations it allows the property owner to sell their property more quickly.

Just remember, there are several key factors to buying real estate with no money down. First, the buyer must find a seller who wants to sell their property immediately and targeting the certain types of property discussed earlier does this. Secondly, the buyer must give a bidding price that matches or is close to the seller's asking price, this is so that the seller feels he/she is not losing anything. Remember, that if the buyer targets the right types of property, it doesn't matter if the seller's asking price is accepted (or close to it) because that price is probably not what the property was original put on the market for anyone. In addition, that price is still minus whatever amount the seller agrees to put up or give credit for the buyer's down payment. Lastly, the buyer must be able to show that he/she is a qualified buyer; this is done by submitting bank statements to the seller showing that the cash is available to pay for the property or if getting a loan having a pre-approval letter from the buyer's lender. If the property is being purchased with a loan it is important for the buyer to ask the lender questions about having the seller putting up a down payment or credit. This is because some types of loans do not allow the seller to put up down payments or give credits at closing. Even if the loan allows this, there may be a limit on the amount permitted.
