I am learning a lot about creative financing strategies through BiggerPockets, and I think it is helping open up some new possibilities for my clients that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. 

Purchase price: $430,000 Cash invested: $10,000Seller Financing 10% down payment, 5% interest rate.

How did you finance this deal?

A lot has been made of purchasing a property “subject to” the existing loan, or alternatively via “owner finance”, or its hybrid a mortgage “wrap”.  

For you investors that have ordinary income to write off let me tell you the greatest secret to minimizing tax liability, Cost Segregation.When coupled with zero down seller financed purchases the numbers get crazy.These numbers below are one of two parks I bought zero down with seller financing last year.This one park one year is a $140,834 write-off equal to $40,842 in tax savings and the second park is $14,000.I am projected to save almost $60,000 on two community purchases that I don't have any of my money invested into, they were true 0% down parks.Don't kid yourself, real estate is the best investment opportunity that exists.

Explore topics like different investment strategies, market analysis, financing options and legal considerations.

The only financing I have ever used was VA loans, conventional loans (as many as they would let me) and later commercial financing on multi-family properties.

I have a lender in the Syracuse area (although I believe they’re in multiple states) that finances the large majority of purchase price and rehab costs.
