Try to narrow down your options to the top 3-4.

Possible (but I doubt easy) if seller takes a 2nd / subordinate position to the bank or is secured by other property you own.

In light of this, I have been exploring the possibility of pursuing creative finance options, specifically seller finance deals, as a potential means to achieve my goals.

I've been seeing far too many people with bad experiences and not enough with positive ones, unfortunately.

The growing tech sector, infrastructure projects, and diverse job opportunities continue to drive population growth, making Atlanta a promising option for multi-family investments.

There are many ways to take this journey from here however we realized our best way is getting outside investors to come in and help us purchase the property, then give them a fixed % over a period of time or even equity.If anyone has been in this position before, what's another creative way we can scale?

If you're already in a secure financial position, leveraging your equity could be a smart strategy.

I do single family "off market" that I take over with owner financing, subject to, wraps and lease options.
