@Jake Posnerstrongly recommend looking closer to home - OOS investing is more difficult than it's made out to be. andwith rates where they are, there's just about no cash flow right now unless you employ a creative strategy or a combination of creative strategies.if you just buy any old property in any old market, you're not going to cash flow.

If not, what are other creative financing types that do not require income verification (or limited verification)?

I oved the examples he gave and am trying to figure out all of the creative ways I can do the same in my area.

We follow the math.But Alternatively I would creatively create an investment vehicle that either creating good return or reducing my monthly expense. 

I know this is most individuals’ issue and understand that there are other creative financing options, but I find myself stuck in an infinite loop of needing funds to invest so that I can raise more funds to invest.

We're open to all sorts of creative financing such as seller financing, notes, options, we've done rent to own as well.

Find an investor-friendly title co who is used to doing creative deals. 

Creative Financing: What creative financing methods have you found success with in tight markets (e.g., seller financing, lease options, etc.)?

I keep thinking there are other creative things that I'm missing. 

I am new to real estate investing and am interested in acquiring STR properties through creative financing.
