Creative Deals - What's your most creative deal?

[David Gotsill]

General shout-out to everyone who posts here and attends meetups for tremendous impact it's had on so many investors, including myself.  What a great community.

In looking for my next deal I've realized my team and I will have to be creative, both in how we find the deal and how we finance it.  I thought we had done well in arranging an owner-financed portfolio acquisition, but I think we're going to need even more for the next one.  

That got me thinking - how creative can we be?  Better yet, how creative have you been?  

Would love if you could share what you think have been creative sourcing and financing strategies.  

As background, a small group of partners and I have been looking to expand our portfolio, which currently consists of about 20 value-add duplexes.  Ideal target is multifamily (scale to be determined), but we're open to other property types as well.  We're going to need to bring in any necessary capital, in the form of either loans or investors (or something else?).  

Thanks all!
