Quick question--ok not really.
Suppose I find a house for sale. The owner will finance it with 5% down. I don't have the cash to put down. Could I offer to buy the house, with 5% down and owner finance (at discounted price) and no due on sale clause, turn around and find a buyer for FMV (or close), offer owner finance for 10% down, and do a double closing, so that the down payment from my buyer will cover the down payment to the seller? I hope this makes sense. Just an idea that ran through my head. :SM003:
