Discussed below are some ways to make money with no-equity property.

Dealing Directly with Owners: Until the court orders the foreclosure of the property, the banks are not the owners of the home. You have to deal directly with the owners to buy the property and then buy the mortgage from the bank to transfer ownership of the property to you.

After contacting the owner, ask them to sign a release of information form that will allow the bank to talk to you about the owner’s mortgage.

Now you need to convince the bank to discount the mortgage. Once you can prove that the property is in disrepair and needs extensive repairs, and that the owner is unable to pay the mortgage loan, the bank will probably agree to reduce the amount. You may need to do a bit of bargaining, but most banks don’t want real estate in their hands, they just need some way to get back the money owed.

Once you have purchased the property, you can sell it for a higher amount. The bank is relieved to have the real estate out of their hands and recoup some of the loan, you’ve made a profit and the buyers of the house will likely have some equity in it.

Why owners will want to sell to you.
A property without equity is a liability for the homeowner, especially if you are making a distress sale. The options you have are limited; Paying the mortgage is difficult, renting the property means spending money on maintenance and repairs, foreclosure means bad credit, and short selling could result in a huge tax penalty.

If you make a reasonable offer to the homeowner, they will most likely accept it. Since what you pay will get you more money than the above options could get you, he/she will agree to your terms. You will then draw up a sales contract and discuss it with the bank.

With a little creativity and out-of-the-box thinking, you can turn a property with no equity into a profitable proposition. So the next time you come across a piece of property with no equity, don’t walk away from it. It may be your opportunity to make significant profits.
