The seller can rebate and / or assist the buyer, such as
splitting appraisal costs, or closing costs, however any monetary credit (s) can not be in lieu of down payment proceeds.
So yeah, we basically
split the
costs upfront for the marketing, and then since we're not cashing out the property so to speak, we just did an
appraisal on the property, because usually we're gonna finance out of it with a bank loan... So now we have an
appraisal, we know what we're all into it, so we have our equity in the property.
