Today more than ever there is no lender in the market place lending 100% of the purchase price. There are rumors in the economic arena that SBA will lend 100% for professional degreed individuals, such as doctors, lawyers for their practice.
This also is not true, the way some lenders get to the 100% is that they lend them money for their furniture fixtures and equipment plus the real estate and they theoretically get 100% of the Real Estate because they borrow 90% of the entire project which in many circumstance's is greater than 100% of the property value, but they still bring to the closing table 10% of the entire project. So if they think that is 100% financing so be it, we know better.
Today I had a potential client call and tell me they were buying a coffee house/restaurant after questioning them I found out they they had zero money to put down. Why would a Realtor not pre-qualify this client and not waste everyone time.
The only way that this deal could happen is with a gift letter. A gift letter is acceptable down=payment and is used where eh actual borrower does not have the money for the down payment but a family member is willing to give them the money. Other than seller carry back for the entire purchase price EVERYONE needs money fora down payment.
