'time, reason, and way' to do

I have no time to meet you.

I have no reason to do it.

I have no way to fix it.

I think that the to infintives each modifies 'time, reason, and way' behind and then I was wondering if there is any omitted prepositions behind?

Like,

I have no place to live (in).

I have no money to buy it (with).

Or 'to infinitives' itself modifies 'time, reason, and way' without any preposition?

What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual in advance.
