Buddy is selling his home and open to creative/seller financing with me (buyer).

Creative financing is another great way to finance a STR!

Is there any creative lending to take advantage of without getting completely hosed?

No wholesaling or creative techniques needed.

STR is a fun one- you'll get to have some fun and get creative with your product.

With a knack for creativity and a passion for forging connections, I am here to bridge the gap between investors, cash buyers, and their next property.

I would have looked more deeply into house hacking or creative financing and left the mortgage for the first property where it was.

I’m completely new to investing and to creative financing.  

You can get creative with recasting mortgages, refinancing, etc. but at the end of the day these things cost you money.
