How does one buy real estate without any money?

I’ve heard many gurus talk about buying real estate with no money out of pocket. Is this really possible? I want to hear of a strategy that really works not something theoretical.
The gurus have at least enough $$ to make the deposit and handle the settlement closing costs. What they do is apply for the maximum loan based on the value of the property in addition to taking into consideration what they expect rental of the property will cover the monthly mortgage loan pymts, taxes and insurance which the finance books refer to as utilizing LEVERAGE (someone’s else money <= the banks) while tenants are covering the monthly payments etc. There are risks like if the property is vacant as well as maintaining good receipts of the cash flow bec one has to pay taxes…though an invesor will often depreciate what is allowable to bring down their taxable income more.
In real life, it’s not as easy as they claim and real estate is also not liquid meaning if the market changed & got worse, to sell real estate takes time and requires the Seller to pay selling costs etc

One of two ways. First and foremost, you need a good credit score. In some areas, like California, you can get 110% financing. That will cover the home, taxes and closing costs. The other way is to buy a home for less then it’s worth. If you buy a house for 80% of what it’s worth, you can finance the whole thing because you are instantly aquiring 20% of its equity.

You should read some books on this, Go to a book store like Barnes N Noble and see what you can find in the real estate section. There are ways of doing this but it is some what of a gamble on your own finances, That does not mean that it can’t be done though.

You can buy a home with an 80/20 mortgage, but you’ll probably still need to have some "hand money". The 80/20 mortgage is actuall a mortgage for 80% of the cost of the house and then you take out a loan for the other 20%. You don’t pay PMI, but you have to be careful not to get burned on the terms of the loan.

If what those "gurus" are trying to sell you was true, why are they trying to make money from that instead of real estate?
However, if you buy those books quickly, they will throw in a set of Gensu knifes.

Start out with good credit and being able to qualify for 100% financing. Identify the property. It the seller is sufficiently desperate then they will agree to pay all your closing costs. You may have to still come out of pocket with money for the inspection or the appraisal, and some kind of earnest money deposit, but all this you can recover at closing if the seller agrees. Net out of pocket will then be $0. I’ve heard of (never seen), buyers actually leaving the closing table with money.

Some lenders will lend you up to 80% of the After Repair Value of a property. It works like a construction loan – mainly local banks make these loans. I just closed on a HUD property. ARV was $159,000 based on an appraisal the bank had done. Purchase price was $117,000. My loan was for $127,200. This amount covered all my closing costs and I got a check at closing for $7,234 for repairs.

I’d be more optimistic if the global economy was doing fine and we are free and clear of a recession, but that is far from the case. If you look at historical pricing you’ll find there is the occasional boom followed by years of flat price growth or slight price decreases.

Look at the poster of this page , they are clearly a hard worker and have just been consistent over time and are now enjoying at least what would appear as somewhat of a success. I would encourage everyone to just keep hustling and moving forward.
