I love creative financing, who doesn't?

Let's say you spent a month on the initial preparation: cleaning, painting, shopping for furnishings, assembling IKEA furniture and so on.

I purchased and renovated a house with a separate legal mother/daughter apartment that I am preparing to Airbnb here in Central NJ. 

Be creative.

if I have no money into the deal and bringing in $200 free and clear every money hell even $100 with no other expenses these usually come through creative deals or owning notes but I would do it. 

And it's helping me keep my transactions organized so I'm prepared for tax season.

we pay a LOT of money for legal advice, legal document preparation, etc., the result is that we aren’t challenged when we need to take ownership if the borrower can’t perform.    

Does anyone have any other creative ideas?

The inventory is also very old, so prepare for heavy Capex (but it sounds like youre ready for that anyway).

House hacking is a fantastic way to start, but preparation is key.
