 Ok for someone newer that cant just use their checkbook what would you recommend?

So, with interest rates on a roller coaster and the economy doing its own thing, I'm curious how we're all wrangling cash for our real estate opportunities. Hard money, creative financing, or traditional financing?

 Appreciate the insight. Ive definitely come across some amazing professionals on the bigger pockets community as well

I hope this post finds you all in good spirits. I wanted to get some insight on a topic that has been on my mind lately – creative financing strategies in the real estate investing space, especially given the current scenario of high interest rates.

As we all know, interest rates play a crucial role in shaping the real estate market. With rates on the rise, it's more important than ever for us to brainstorm and share ideas on how to navigate this challenging landscape. So, I'm curious to know: What creative financing strategies are you currently exploring or considering in response to high interest rates? Feel free to share your experiences, insights, or any articles/resources you've come across that shed light on creative financing strategies.

Hey everyone! Looking for recommendations of trusted cpas in the midwest. Any help would be appreciated!

Me and my brother are looking at going in on our first property. I ran everything through the rental property calculator and attached it to this post. We're also looking into options for the down payment. We currently do not have the capital for it and would love some ideas on how to get it. I'd really appreciate any input!

Me and my brother are wanting to get into the small multifamily space and are looking into our options for funding our first few properties. What would be some recommendations to look into for our first few investments? We currently do not have the capital for a big down payment. Private investors? Traditional loans? Heloc?

So i just finished reading the most recent blog post on arbritage rentals. I'm very interested in looking into this for my area. The town closest to me is Santa Claus, Indiana. Its a relatively busy vacation destination from May-September and in December due to the local amusement park that can bring in Close to 26,000 people daily during the middle of the summer. There are a few Airbnb's in the town that range from $200-$315 per night and are booked solid in the summer months. There is also a duplex community very close to the amusement park where the monthly rent ranges from $550-$800. If I were able to rent one of these duplexes and rent out the unit on Airbnb it would do very well during the summer months but would drastically slow down during the winter months. I'm needing some guidance. If anyone has any experience with this business model and would have some advice for me it would be greatly appreciated!
