      What is holding you back from becoming the person you want to be? Your job? Your friends, family? Lack of knowledge? Lack of drive? Or just the need of a good ole “KICK ON THE BUTT!!!!”

    Banks do get greedy sometimes so look into other opportunities. There are 100s of wholesalers in your area selling cheaper then foreclosures and alot simpler to close. Graigs list is another great source. For sale by owner websites or drive for dollars. Go to local REIA clubs there are always investors looking to sell deals there. The list goes on and on and on.

    Lisa 

    We are masters at creative financing.. Several things you can do is find owner financing properties, wholesale a few to raise enough cash for the down payment, borrow the down payment from guys like us, JV with guys like us, add a HELOC to your home (if you own), pay day type loans, and a 1000 other creative ways..... Basically of its a deal we can get you funded.. PM me or cash @ sky4cash ......
