Sure, all channels can work, even seller financing or foreclosures, but in my experience, a well-connected agent can uncover hidden gems that often outperform the trickier avenues.Since the post is still fresh, I’m curious.. do you foresee other potential add ons that might elevate the returns even further, like corporate housing partnerships or short-term seasonal leases?

I primarily work as a part-time CFO for new (and "old") real estate developers and investors, primarily helping them financial analyze their deals and finding them the best rates and terms for financing.

Just make sure the town is ok with the land being zoned for multi-units, and look into construction costs, financing options, and permits ahead of time.

Its hard enough if the home was in your name let alone an LLC as your LLC can not get any bank financing.

I'm particularly interested in what tactics people have implemented for sourcing quality deals (not the I need 100% financing bs)Would you:1.

My purchase is not contingent on financing, and I genuinely want to move forward with buying this property. 

Does anyone have any creative financing advice or any insights?

If you have cash on hand to fund the rehab and want to extract it soon after the project is done, you can use delayed financing.

The vast majority of these units I purchased using private financing with $0 out of pocket. 

Borrowed money from friends and family to pay cash for the property as the bank would not finance it until it had been remodeled, made livable, and brought up to code.
