I have a lot of clients that ask me for creative ways to purchase property.

Am I missing some aspect of creative financing?

Any creative ways to move into the house and not make it a primary? 

There may be a few ways to get creative in acquiring the property. 

Possibly I can source some deals from some code enforcement people and other creative places I can think of, but that will take some time and bird-dogs.Need help with finding deals, networking whether it be with other REIs or REAs, attorneys, financial planners/funding, confidence, and knowledge.I am determined and willing to work for this.

Are there any benefits or incentives to our church maintaining the building and partnering with someone to do something creative with it such as a rental to low income/unhoused, food pantry, stoarge, etc? 

Additionally, you could explore creative financing options like seller financing or lease options, which can provide more flexibility without immediately impacting your loan qualifications. 

Not before that long it could become more interesting for you than for us here.Now, for us building a portfolio of rentals (and btw also an option for Americans), we avoid this by not doing it as an individual but with a company (SL) and changing it to company tax (first two years 15% and after this 25%) and creatively deduct way more costs.It is true though that this is a good way if your strategy is to reinvest your money time by time building something bigger/passing it along to kids/relatives etc, because when you want to take money out of your company you would need to pay dividend tax or in the form as a salary.   

,You are an example and an inspiration that shows hard work, creativity and grit can make you successfull!   

My understanding is in their ‘opinion’ they can be creative in some areas of 1031 or 121.
