We bought an REO townhouse in Nov 2011 for $91k (bank was only accepting cash deals), rehab costs $25k.

This type of marketing was an innovative strategy and now has become the norm.

Roy,I love the innovative idea.Your Concept: negotiating a convenience for your niche population and bill users later.Possible Improvements: negotiate an affiliate relationship with service provider (a little kick back).Potential Other Uses: similar arrangements with coffee shops, laundry mat, groceries stores, etc.No since in just focusing on rents when you could be an agent to help with all living and lifestyle expenses.

Right now, I'm looking for multifamily B-class rentals (800-1,000 EUR / unit) in the core Maastricht urban area and I'm trying to wrap my head around 'innovative financing' (seller financing, lease options) to bridge the frozen market situation.There are deals to be found, though I find the 2%-rule BP talks about too restrictive.

Though it isn't an issue to most people, here's an innovative trick if you come across someone who does mind:Have it 'purged' by a preacher, shaman...It can seem stupid or symbolic to some, but there are people who mind depending on where you live.

(I think the customers can see through it)With that said, my company does a very good job marketing the properties, but I am looking for something new and innovative I can offer my clients that has true substance and is not just fluff.

I like risks, learning, innovating.

I've been out here reading and learning when I can for about a year now.My wife and I purchased our first rental 4 years ago, then we bought a second one 2.5 years ago.We're just off the heals of a successful "flip" in Nov. 2012.

They are the most innovative and to me the best home builder in Southern California.

Innovative Property Solutions tells a person you have something to do with property; same thing with Vista Properties, 60 day Realty, Trinity Investors and a whole host of other names I can think of.
