If you know of a college that you plan to go to, a single family house, duplex, triplex, or fourplex on the campus would be a great way to start out while you live in one of the units and manage/make sure to get all of the other units/bedrooms filled with other students about your age.

Not in Bedroom, but yes in each bathroom. 

With your balance sheet and cash, you can put together creative deals without giving up equity and without using your cash but you are going to need to find a market and product which has 7-8% cap rates.I invest in the northeast, Great Lakes area.Diverse economies with education, healthcare as the back bone and tech as growth.In your area, you’ll have to raise way more capital in the form of equity just to meet DSCR with the banks.

Sharing experiences and pooling knowledge might uncover creative solutions you hadn’t considered.While it’s frustrating to feel unprotected, focus on taking strategic, proactive steps.

I would purchase a duplex (or even better, purchase a SFH with as many bedrooms as you can afford and rent by the room), and then slowly improve the property. 

This is a 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom single family house.

I’m trying to make sure my business appears legitimate and trustworthy to local sellers, but I also want to avoid violating Google’s guidelines and risk having the account suspended.Would love to hear from anyone who’s faced this issue or has creative ideas for solving it!

Real estate investing is just one subset of any type of investing, residential (what most sub2 is) is another subset of that, and "creative" purchasing is a tiny subset of that.

Please, anyone has done creative financing or know anyone who specializes?

Also, think about creative financing, seller financing and sub to can also be options to grow your portfolio.
