• Buying properties or sites with planning potential, obtaining planning and then selling out is another successful strategy.
• Buying a property below market value, purchasing a property via a "one day bridging loan", followed by an immediate remortgage is a popular strategy for no money down deals or even equity release.
• Buying new build properties with a gifted deposit can offer a "no money" down route, however you should ensure that the property was not over priced in the first place. Check for local rental demand and that potential rent will cover your mortgage interest to use this strategy successfully.
