My wife and I did this on our own.

Creative Financing" can mean a lot of different things depending on who you're talking with. 

When we bought our first home I KNEW it was a good deal and we jumped on it. 

Originally when they were known as FlipOS, they would split up the interest payments,so I would pay the remaining amount for the month the house was purchased and then the remaining balance on the sale of the home to them.  

These properties were purchased for investment only purposes (they are not second homes/duplex’s etc).

Purchase price: $137,500 ($44,000 in to the property... loan at $101,000)Appraisal: $180,000   ARV: $195,000Est rehab cost: $7,500Scenario #1: 75% LTV cash out refi at 4.25%...

From a financial standpoint, the key is to ensure you're purchasing properties at a price low enough to make rehab costs and refinance achievable.

., so you can't get financing on a condotel most of the time.

Depending on area, coverage needs I have seen varying carriers best fit the policy needed.

I am changing the locks over on all of my units at each turnover.
