Being new to the LA market, I'm looking to partner with someone who has established relationships with local contractors and/or experience with creative financing.

You have to get creative and make offers under asking price in CO to make properties work. 

In your case though, I've heard of people in Denver proper with duplexes who parter with LTR tenants (you could put them in the basement) who will co-host with you and be able to get a STR permit since it's their primary residence and you can work out a profit split for the STR or some kind of reduced rent for your LTR in exchange for helping you and you being able to keep the STR runningJust a creative idea I wanted to toss out as a potential plan B or plan C!

Hi Justin, you're off to a great start with this creative acquisition strategy, especially for someone new to real estate.

I like duplexes as well, yet part of the puzzle is incorporating the 3 affordable housing units (2 bedroom).

By incorporating additional collateral to secure financing, investors can enhance their security, ensuring that the asset pool remains sufficient to stay within the desired CLTV range.

Over 35 years of creative lending experience.

At all, but be wary of higher rates and fees associated with something like this.Happy to connect to talk more strategy and detail on creative financing, and investment strategies!

I think agents are trying to get creative to not deal with the new changes....but fact is, Wholesaling is just another slice in the pie.

So keep that in mind.Another more creative way to go about it is looking at the multifamily selling in the neighborhoods you plan to go after.
