@Elizabeth RossFor properties under 100k you will likely need to use the BRRR method as its difficult to get a 30Y loan on a properties valued under 100k.

These properties can often be acquired through creative financing methods like:Seller Financing: Negotiate flexible terms with motivated sellers who want to avoid traditional bank processes.Lease Options/Subject-To Financing: Take over a seller’s mortgage without assuming full responsibility, especially for properties needing renovation.Creative Terms: Adjust terms to fit market conditions, like offering lower down payments or longer payoff periods.Staying connected with investors and tailoring deals to current conditions can help you secure opportunities even in challenging markets.

Example someone has 2 million down payment they buy something NNN at 5 million and I make 150,000 in about 60 days for about 20 hours of time depending on how complex the deal is.I am just tired of newbies being told bullsh*t.

so i had zero debt or interest payments on it while it was being fixed up. 

The didn't live within their means, accrued a lot of debt, and it eventually resulted in them not paying rent and being evicted.Consolidating debt reduces their payments so they have more money available, but it doesn't automatically teach them to live within their means.

As lenders, well issue a prequal/preapproval letter if we've analyzed your income, assets (bank and brokerage statements to establish that you have the liquidity to afford the down payment, closing costs, and reserves), review credit of the guarantors, review the relevant experience to ensure that we're not throwing our money away on newbies that are wandering around in the dark, and have put together a reasonable plan of attack for the project.

Take the larger down payment and put it into something bigger, which lowers your %equity in the property but still keeps the $equity and the cash flow is now going into the larger property.

Believing there is less risk because you are investing a small amount of money (in this case using only a 5% down payment) is the second biggest mistake you are making behind purchasing this asset property in the first place. 

How quickly are you able to save for a down payment?

You can sell on financial method because there is such short demand there is all but no comp's to use for comp method, and if selling as turn-key, yup, financial method will be your friend for sure.
