Usually 10% of the loan balance is what they like to see after down payment.

See about getting owner financing properties and use a portion down and the greater balance to rehab. make sure the PITI is less than half of your projected rent. good luck!

PS: A large part of the down payment would be financed with credit card balance transfers, which are currently running at the equivalent of 3% interest.

I started my consulting company with nothing but a commitment to quality and service, and initially had to struggle to balance eating with paying for things such a phone line for a FAX machine.

After all liens are paid then the seller gets the balance.

Also, we would be borrowing money from relatives and credit card balance transfers to come up with the down payment.

There is a homestyle renovation mortgage you can get that allows you to purchase a property and perform the rehab all in one loan with checks and balances through the process.  

If you have credit cards get the balance below 33% of the available limit.

with that said, be mindful that a cc must be paid in full or they hit you with highest balance interest regardless of amount owned.HM and PM generally do not want to be in second position on a loan.

Put $100,000 on ht balance sheet.
