Creative Ideas for Down Payment

[Brad Jacobson]

Hey BP Team,

I have a client who's currently under contract on multiple properties (all great deals) but is getting into a position where his down payments funds are getting exhausted as he builds his portfolio.

Ideally, he'd prefer to not bring in a capital partner though we believe that would be the easiest solution.  We've also tried seller financing and unfortunately it's not available here.  We don't believe hard money would fund a down payment as the hard money lender could only take second position and the down payment has to be sourced properly.  

What are other creative ways you've found to fund a down payment for traditional financing?
