Creative Financing Styles, Strategies and Ideas

[Kate Barry]

Hi Everyone

I thought it might be interesting or cool to start a thread about creative financing solutions to buying real estate investments.  I had a really interesting conversation with a new group of investors about all the different ways you can buy real estate right now.

For example, I'm doing several deals right now that all involve some aspect of creative financing.  100% seller financing, rent to own, seller financing part of the deal ( some bringing private money/syndications, others are using a loan to finance part of the deal).  Subject-to financing has been thrown around as an idea but I haven't actually done a sub-to deal yet.  

Would love to hear what others strategies are right now with the difficult lending landscape

Real estate right now seems like there are a lot of buyers and sellers, but you have to start getting creative to put deals together.  At least, that is my experience!  I'm trying to sharpen my creative thinking skills so that I can serve my clients as our goal is to get deals CLOSED and everyone feels like they are getting a good deal at the end of the day
