Need Opinions on Creative Financing

[Jaedon Stout]

Hi BiggerPockets Community,

I’m Jaedon, and I’ve spent the last few years helping clients secure business funding to grow their ventures. Over time, I’ve built a network of 20-30 clients who are always eager to explore new opportunities, and right now, real estate is at the top of our list.

I’m diving deep into how to best use $150K-$200k in 0% interest business funding for real estate investments. My goal is to help my clients (and myself) make smart, practical decisions that balance cash flow, scalability, and risk which is crucial I know real estata is risky I have raised over 20 million dollars in Business Funding over last 3 years. I believe in putting in the work—1,000 hours of research, testing, and learning—before offering advice, and I’m excited to tap into the collective wisdom of this community to refine my approach.

Here’s where my head is at: I’m considering strategies like short-term rentals (Airbnb) for higher cash flow, long-term rentals for steady income, or even creative options like house hacking or partnerships to stretch the funds further. For example, should we focus on acquiring one high-quality property in a strong market, or would it make more sense to spread the investment across multiple lower-cost units in emerging areas? I’m also curious about the pros and cons of managing short-term rentals versus long-term tenants, especially for clients who are new to real estate.

I’d love to hear from those of you who’ve been down this path before. How would you use $150K in 0% interest funding for real estate or anything that you have done? Have you or your clients tried similar strategies? What worked well, and what challenges did you face? I’m all ears—both success stories and lessons learned are incredibly valuable.

Ultimately, I’m here to learn, share ideas, and connect with like-minded individuals who are passionate about real estate. If you’d like to discuss further or share your insights, feel free to reach out to me

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts—thanks in advance for your input!

Best,
Jaedon
