The Creative Investor Meetup is designed for beginning to advanced investors who would like additional strategies when constructing deals.All aspects of real estate investing will be covered including (but not limited to) - Wholesaling, Flipping, Buy and Hold and Commercial with an emphasis on Creative Financing.

You can take out a lot of complexity when you buy property that only needs maye paint & carpet.

People are buying stolen identities off facebook groups and using that info to apply as someone who has good credit and making fake paystubs.
