If loan amount is small you will have difficulty finding a hard money lender who will assist. 

That being said, most real estate loans are somewhere between 50% and 80% loan-to-value, meaning the lender wants you to have skin in the game.

Every lender is going to want you to have “skin in the game” (ie. they aren’t going to lend 100% of the money) .  

When you buy banks want you to put skin in the game and take on some of the risk with a down payment.

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.

if market value rents are significantly greater than the property expenses and you can then rent the property out to another buyer on a lease option, you just make sure you are putting minimal cash down with the seller, and take a large up front cash deposit/down payment from your future buyer....they have skin in the game, and you can put utility and maintenance responsibility on them.
