For the average US citizen, "No Money Down" investing, is fast becoming an impossible situation. Investing in real estate with no money down used to be straight forward and really refers to the fact that the investor has no money of their own for the down payment on a deal. This often means there is still a down payment involved but it comes through means other than the investor own funds, through creative financing.

The real estate investor should be familiar with the laws, rules and regulations which vary by locality and are essential to know.  Proper due diligence is critical when you want to invest in real estate and especially when it is no money down.  You'll want to know more than a little about purchasing and selling real estate.

One method to help along the financing process when purchasing a property is to provide your down payment in the form of a business credit line. This method of financing is not for the investor with sub prime credit, in fact the ideal credit picture is someone with credit in the 750 or better FICO range. Utilizing a credit line as a down payment essentially brings the 100% LTV loan program back for real estate investors. 

This method of investing, without a down payment, can prove to be very lucrative. It will allow many people to enter into the real estate investing field without the need for large sums of their own money for up front costs such as down payments or initial closing costs.
