My humble advice to anyone attempting to do creative finance is:Creative finance is for experienced investors who have access to capital if anything goes wrong.Learn the lawsDon't use a contract "off the internet", laws vary by state and are also regulated on a federal levelLearn the financing techniques correctlyDon’t skip parts of the processDon’t ever do a “kitchen table” closingUse the proper deedAn attorney can help you with the legal work, but the rest you are on your ownYour guru will not bail you out“Investing” in someone else’s deal by providing a small 2nd loan so the “investor” can pay for “cash to the seller” and for “closing costs” so he can do the deal is a very bad planKnow what problems can ariseLearn the responses and solutions to problems before they are neededKnow everything there is to know about Title and what that meansKnow who a "protected class" individual isLearn the "back doors"Learn human natureUnderstand timelinesUnderstand regulation enforcement (some of these "mistakes" have a 10 year statue of limitations ( they can charge you 10 years AFTER you do the transaction) and carry hefty fines and possible imprisonmentThe court doesn't accept "I didn't know" for an answer"Know that the source of the lead plays a serious role in some states and federallyKnow how much of a "profit" pushes the boundaries to invite an investigationYou can be sued by the seller if you don’t do things correctlyYou are automatically at fault if an investigator or attorney or regulator gets involved.

Quote from @Christina Hall: Let me guess your solution is SEO 😆 I’ve spent 20 years in sales/marketing and I have to say it’s never a single strategy We are also buying up expensive keywords on google I hear this constantly when I try to help peopleI do ONE single strategy because that ONE strategy is the one that actually works.Will you do 15 different strategies just because there is some unspoken rule that says "Don't do just one strategy?".

I believe interest is tax-deductible if used for property improvements or purchases, and it gives you quick access to funds while keeping your stock portfolio intact.Private Money Loan: If you have a trusted partner and terms that work well for both parties, this could be an efficient solution without tapping into your other assets.
