I have put an offer in for a property offered at $127,000. My offer on the house was $105,000. They are saying that they have had higher offers but would still keep mine for consideration. Here is my question…As an alternative offer, is it possible to offer list price ($127,000) and put in the contract that the seller would take proceeds from the sell at settlement to cover my 10% down payment ($12,700). Therefore, I do not come out of my own pocket for the transaction and this essentially makes my offer $114,800. Is this possible? Is there a name for this type of transaction??
By the way this is a buy and hold strategy.
