Seller owns property free and clear and you guys sign a purchase agreement for 100KYou put down 10% which is 10K to the seller(skin in the game)Your hard money lender put in 90K, which is the rest of the money due to seller, to get to that 100K owed.Then Escrow closes and your seller has the 100K owed to him and then you pay the lender who put in 90K monthly interest only payments till you resell/refinance the property paying off the 90K owed to him.
