A partner can bring valuable insight and creativity to a deal and help you see opportunities you may not have identified on your own.Have you done any SubTo deals yet, or will this be your first?

It is becoming a lot for the 80-year-old owners who are expecting greater costs in time and dollar (self managed).Is there any creative deal structure that can be used so that I can buy and occupy the home including the assumed improvements, repairs and maintenance, while allowing the seller to preserve the step-up tax shield for their descendants?  

You just have to be creative and find your target market.

I think this is a creative idea with a lot of potential, though also with some unique issues as mentioned above. 

I think there's too much glorification of the "creative" investment -- flipping, wholesaling, note-buying, etc. etc. -- when the simplest option is probably the best.I tell my first-time homebuyers in Colorado to keep it simple.

I own a condo I'm looking to sell creatively, as the underlying debt terms are very attractive ( 3.625% 30 Year fixed ).

i had a few miscellaneous thoughts and reactions-unless you employ a creative strategy or are making a value add play, it's going to take a while to recoup whatever money you put down. 

MAYBE the seller’s agent is a friggin genius.

Love the creative thoughts there Samuel.

Your 'Ability to buy' will change with your creativity, not only with your credit score or income.
