Newbie getting first rental with creative financing

[India H.]

Hi all! I used to be very active here on BP in 2017 and was going to purchase my first rental property. However, I got analysis-of-paralysis like many newbies and now fast forward to 2023 and I still haven't invested in my first property. With that being said, I would like to look at creative financing options (sub-to, seller financing, etc.) to FINALLY get my first property in the DFW area (open to other Texas markets too). 

Any suggestions on how to get my first rental? I would prefer to avoid banks due to higher interest rates. However, I am open to hearing any suggestions.

Thank you in advanced!
