I really to find a list of private investment firms with this kind of financing available. I know of many that have large down payments, just not the credit to buy OR they are self employed and write off most of their income, so they don't show enough on paper to qualify for a loan - but good credit scores.

5% downpayments are just non-refundable security deposits.  More homeowners need THEIR SKIN in the game!

Hello Carla,

I am sure the private investors will be coming forward soon.  May your search be fruitful.

Hello Wallace,

You are probably correct, buyers do not more skin in the game.
