Sometimes asking the obvious question is the only way to find out if you have the stomach and the bank roll to do Creative Finance.Taking action with "incomplete" information in Creative Finance is disastrous.

It makes my stomach turn.

OR, they might feel levered to their eyeballs, swamped with problems, and sick to the pit of their stomach that they can't meet the expectations they set for their thousands of investors who trusted them. 

Sucks, I know, but that is how the system turns and the stomach churns.

If you can stomach the day to day management, evictions, and repairs then there is money to be made in the inner city.

Maybe you can stomach breaking even and building equity in the medium-term in wxchange for dividends later.

If you can stomach the risk of losing it and can develop a decent maintenance/property management system, the returns are pretty substantial.

Somehow, I managed to do 2-3 flips per year allowing me to make a total income of about $75,000/year.The word spread around in Cincinnati that I am THE guy who could stomach and manage these problem properties in war zone areas.

If you have the stomach and want to be in this class that's totally fine, just set your expectations accordingly. 

To me, I can stomach a "cheap" deal all day long if the returns are where I want them to be.
