Creative Fnancing is thrown around a lot and the whole concept of other people's money but blending that with a bank seems like an artform to maintain a professional practice and image.If a bank would deny me based on a private money loan for a down payment, can I structure the private funds in such a way that gets ne what I want?

If the investors debt matches the length of the primary term with a set interest rate and it cash flows and the cap can be blended upward over time it can be still a manageable investment.   

Dear all, I was off my tracks in blending in the cash flow with the NOI.  

Then we transitioned into blending the models (flip some and a modified value-add remodel to hold on the rest).  

Throw it in with all the other unsolicited advice you get and blend on high.

We have invested in Tulum, Mexico, where we are seeing unparalleled return on investment, since land prices have doubled each year since we got there a few years ago.

The greater Seattle-Tacoma area still has a lot of upside and offers a blend of cashflow and appreciation potential.

West of 65, south of 64 is a mix of rough characters that slowly blends more towards rural(ish) working class as you get farther southwest. 

Creativity needs to be blended with praticality.

I live in the wonderful-but-insanely-expensive Ventura County area (just bought a 3+2.5 1367sqft last year for $425,000,) and while I'm a big believer in the long-term investment value of my area (said place is now worth around $515,000,) I'm looking to explore other areas with a lower barrier to entry so where I could potentially buy more property that isn't as reliant on long-term appreciation to grow my portfolio.My area is unparalleled for decade-over-decade appreciation, but accordingly is pretty lousy for cashflow.
