Hi Chris, As financing costs will be a big factor in determining profitability, you should be asking HMLs for proposals to fund. 

Would love to find some seller financing as we would like to build our portfolio as quickly as we can."

@Tori Rhodes faster ways to scale:Buy a portfolio from another investor- Get seller financing from a savvy one that doesn't want capital gains hit!

Financing through an LLC can be tricky due to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines.

Did you finance out of the one you kept?

I found some articles and old forum posts on BP last night that discussed problems with financing and insurance for this arrangement. 

I have the money to buy now but I would rather do creative financing and use as little money as possible out of my own pocket. looking to start with BRRR method but maybe should start with a wholesale first to fund that?

Start small, ensure your numbers (purchase + rehab + holding + selling costs) leave room for profit, and build a reliable team (contractor, agent, lender).For financing, work with lenders who specialize in fix-and-flips. 

Now we are mostly scaling our business with larger communities but I've used many different creative finance strategies including seller finance, private lending, hard-money, collateral from other properties, and lease-options. 

I've been at this a while and have over 70% equity in my combined portfolio, and I'm over 50 years of age, so I don't look at creative financing options.
