I told my account manager multiple times to make sure they were asking about creative finance options.

Hoping for a creative solution, but doubtful.I have been renting the property and thus the reason I'm giving it several years rather than waiting the proverbial 1 year and 1 day.

This is very helpful.If we rented our home (and purchased a second home) we could likely purchase another investment properly in roughly 12-24 months after, but this would depend on how creative we'd get with financing.Totally agree about having all eggs in one basket. 

One strategy that has consistently brought me success is seller carry financing and creative deal structuring.

By all accounts, he was a real estate genius.

Get connected with investors and agents in those markets and see how creative you can be cash offers.

I am an agent in FL and I focus almost exclusively on turnkey STR properties via creative financing..

I love this thinking and creativity.  

Any thoughts on more creative financing other than taking money out of my personal house?
