Make an offer with no money in the game?

[Kyle Hubicka]

Hello,

I am completely new to real estate investing. I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada. This may be a stupid question, however, I'm curious. If I was to make an offer on a place, and the seller and I came to an agreement on price. Can I lock up that property for a few months, while I look for a partner/investor to jump in with me? If I cannot make that situation work, would I be able to walk away scot-free?
