Get creative!

Your best investment of your 10k cash TODAY appears to be paying off your credit card.But creativity is what drives real estate forward.

No money down deals can be accomplished through many avenues, sub2, owner financing, lease options, joint ventures, and other creative financed means just to name a few.

I'd rather not have the tax liability at all from a C Corp, the only thing would be a flip or properties held short term as I really wouldn't want the recapture issues outlined by Steven.Well, I have "had" a couple C Corps, but under Section 401C3, so I (we)didn't have these issues, a tad more creative working with other taxable entities.

I want to send them another gift to both of them (My realtor helped me with paperwork on sell by owner deal which she didn't collect any commission on, and my PM has brought me an amazing deal then working on creative rental solution via group home). 

So it all depends on what sort of deals you are hoping to do.Assuming you are planning on doing plain vanilla 20-25% down, conventional loan funded purchases of SFR to rent out, then you will need cash and good credit and documented income.No matter what the "creative real estate" types will tell you, having cash on hand will always make investing in real estate easier.

sometimes if you are making a creative offer or even a low ball offer, you can get into a situation where several members of the family want to sell and several others do not. 

Do you enjoy coming up with creative solutions to problems or issues?

However, for me, I would say that had it not been for the course, it would have taken me much longer to realize that networking and creative real estate can be keys to success.

I am not referring to creative financing or other creative ideas.
