Do some research and ask an attorney, but I believe there are federal laws which ensure an electronic signature is equal to a pen and paper signature.

Sarah,I have purchased most of my investment properties with zero down and it can still be done but you need to know how to creatively structure the deal to make it work for you.

If you purchase a property much lower than the market is averaging how do you ensure it will appraise with the rest of the market after rehab.

I identifying that niche may help others on this forum help you in creative ways to reach that niche.

I appreciate if anyone knows of an attorney who can close on wholesaling lease options (and other creative financing deals) nationwide.Also, if you know of any lender, title company,etc. who are familiar with and work with tenant buyers to qualify and purchase the house this way.Thank you very much. 

This would be great as a rental or to have the mechanicals working and ensure it's a solid house and wholesale it.

There are lots of creative ways to get into a place with little to nothing down, you just gotta find the right deal.Good luck!!!

Creative financing would be needed in this situation, in order to obtain mass properties with little or no money down.You should start looking for long term financing with a private individual/company.
