Be creative on your purchase and get money back at closing to cover the reserves.

House hacking still definitely works, just got to get a little more creative, maybe be willing to do some work (go find the worst house in the best neighborhood kind of thing).

I thought I was a RE genius. 

@Andrew Grimmett If a seller is hesitant due to capital gains taxes, consider creative solutions: suggest an installment sale (seller financing) to spread tax liability over time, a 1031 exchange to defer taxes by reinvesting in another property, or a structured sale for flexible deferred payments.

I even have a creative deal signed if I don't flip the contract.The purchase would be 300 + closing costs. assignment would be 15.

I’m particularly interested in strategies for scaling in the multi-family space, creative financing options, and building strong partnerships.If you’ve worked on similar deals or have insights into the best ways to grow in this industry, I’d love to hear from you.

I'm looking for another STF property that doesn't need to be rehabbed (which makes wholesale properties, BRRRR properties, and a lot of "Creative Finance" properties POSSIBLE but certainly less likely to work cleanly). 

I'm always impressed with people's creative ideas!!!  

Investment Info:

Large multi-family (5+ units) buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $330,000

I bought this property 100% seller financed. It is two mobile home parks consisting of about 24 units.

I doesn't sound like you have a lot of experience doing creative finance deals, and your overblowing numbers crazily.2.
