I have seen contracts with “riders” saying “due to the buyer accepting the property in “as-is” condition, a credit of $15,000 will be granted toward the re-hab of the property’s roof, plumbing, and other systems”.
how to word a contract to obtain 100%financing - Posted by M Saffle

My husband and I have been investing in real estate for a couple of years now, and have been quite successful. However, our mortgage lender has closed some loopholes where we cannot go off of appraised value but instead the purchase price only. We would have to come up with 10% down plus closing costs. We like no money down deals. Is there a way to put in the contract with the seller where we can get money back at closing for repairs and down payment as long as the property appraises high enough? These properties are for rentals and most purchases are under $65,000.
thank you,
