The further you get into the deal the more skin in the game you end up having so it just makes sure you see the project through so you recoup the time and cash invested.

You will take care of repairs under say $200 or $300.

Regarding leverage - use it carefully!

Most sellers only care if you close so you can usually use another form of capital stack other than what is on the agreement, however, the seller can force you to use the originally agreed-upon payment method.

I have a few lenders who do but they still require some money from the borrower so they have skin in the game.  

They also want a priority lien on the property.It sounds like you are looking for someone to fund your down payment, I would be looking for an equity partner over debt as nobody likes to lend money in insecure positions, especially when a borrower lacks skin in the game.How much are you planning to come in with yourself?

@Brice Alef-Torrisi, there's lots of different ways to skin this regarding entity structure and financial account structure.

There are many ways to skin it but I would go ahead and upgrade to QBO Plus.
