Buying apartment advice

General Real Estate Investing

I am looking to purchase an apartment building and need advice. Is there a way to creatively construct an offer for the following scenerio that will utlimately create 100%financing?

Sell price…$500,000
Appraised at $610,000
Commercial lender to finance at 90%

My problem is satisfying the 10%. Is it legal to arrange with the seller to sell for 610,000 so the 90% financing will cover entire price and forget or negate any balance?

Any other ways to raise the 10% short of out of my pocket? Private investors, Hard money that commercial lender will accept for the 10%.

Any advice is appreciated. I have several buildings that cash flow adequately to hancle the monthly payments but need to get the 10%.

Thanks

In reference to your question about legality…Yes. That is illegal.

If you have other properties why don’t you pull some equity out of them for the downpayment.

You can get 75% financing from the lender and 20% financing from the seller and only pay 5% down.

It does not get any better than that.
