I am investing in real estate without the need to put in 20%+ deposit, He pays the monthly mortgage which im not liable for, I benefit from appreciation..

So, I'm left questioning what benefits there are to the 2/1 buydown that would make it a recommended option.I'm thinking that if I skip the 2/1 buydown, the cash to close would be lower, meaning I'd need to put in less of my own money upfront, which seems like a better option to me.

The amount on the foreclosure was $75,000 and $143,000 of added value was put in the home.  

And if you don't like someone challenging what you put in words online, don't write anything publicly.
