Guidance on creative financing
I am new member and I am looking for some opinions & guidance. I am looking to purchase my second investment property either using hard money or conventional or creative financing. I am in San Antonio Texas and my first investment property was my place of residence and we decided to move and rent it out back in 2002; no longer have a mortgage on it, so I am trying to decide how to fund my next investment property. I was considering to refinance the investment property with cash out and use the cash to requisition my second investment property or use my 401k since I am now 59 1/2 and won't be penalize if I take a portion of the cash out. I would appreciate your thoughts or opinions. On how I can obtain a second mortgage using creative financing. Thanks !

Creative financing is just that-creative
to me that is acquiring a property without any conventional means
depending on the property make up and the seller is how to get creative
there are types of loans you can acquire or transfer ownership on
there are sellers that will sell with a balloon in a few years
there are sellers that will sell with little or no money down
these are the properties the professionals do not know about or have never done a deal on
you have to get out and look for this type of property
you will not find them on the MLS or the internet
hope this helps
enjoy
