My last deal got sold from under me now:
I have this foreclosure the bank is asking 32k it is assessed at 50k. It needs some work in one of the apartments. It is a three unit and rent would be about 1500 total. It is being sold as is. I want to keep it and rent it.
How would I finance this deal? I have no real money of my own. Can anyone help me with different scenarios for getting this house? I have been trying to get something for about two years now!!

If you are buying the foreclosure from the bank see if they will make the loan with your 5k down. It sounds like you are a first time homebuyer. In this case you’re probably better off buying it owner occupied and thus getting the government to gaurantee a certain amount for the bank and possibly getting some other tax breaks.

Richard,
The first problem with a deal like this is the size of the deal. The vast majority of your lenders and Mortgage Brokers don?t want to do a deal under $50,000.
Secondly you don?t tell us anything about yourself. What your credit is like, if you already own a home, what your income is etc?
If you don?t already own a home and this is going to be your first property you can buy it owner occupied and get 100% financing. You?ll have to have a minimum credit score of 620. If this is going to be your first None Owner Occupied property (an investment property) then my suggestion is for you to go to a local bank that is a portfolio lender and see what you can do. Rule of thumb on a NOO through a Mortgage Broker is 10% down which can also be a 90-5-5 meaning 90% first, 5% down and 5% seller carry-back.

Thanks for the response Ed.
My credit score is about a 650. I only make 25k a year however. I am 25 and have 3k saved. It would be a NOO and I would want to keep it and rent it out.
What kind of bank is a portfolio lender? I live in NY.
Could I ask the bank for a 50k mortgage so that I can use the extra for fix up?

A portfolio bank is a bank that does not sell thier loans but instead keeps and services them. The two off the top of my head is Bank of America and Washington Mutual. I think Wells Fargo may be one also. Hope this helps.
