@Abigail King I mean, I wouldn't classify it as "creative financing" as much but my favorite strategy has been the BRRRR Method for many years.  

I've done extensive research into the options and a lot of the paid options seem to focus on teaching specific investment methods.

You need to set a deadline for them to correct the issue, then follow up with an inspection or other method to confirm compliance.

But I am so intrigued with the BRRRR method just not sure this is the one for that.

It’s ironic that the state is essentially leaving landlords high and dry, while at the same time calling on them to step in and help solve the housing crisis.

Running through some dry scenarios with brokers and lenders would be a good way to get your feet wet.

Given your situation, one strategy that could work really well for you is the BRRRR method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat). 

We are active in Spain and personally bit by bit getting into Portugal as well.Quick question: is refinancing possible in Portugal (BRRRR method)?

After about a month of no response on FF I switched my method to LTR.

These properties can often be acquired through creative financing methods like:Seller Financing: Negotiate flexible terms with motivated sellers who want to avoid traditional bank processes.Lease Options/Subject-To Financing: Take over a seller’s mortgage without assuming full responsibility, especially for properties needing renovation.Creative Terms: Adjust terms to fit market conditions, like offering lower down payments or longer payoff periods.Staying connected with investors and tailoring deals to current conditions can help you secure opportunities even in challenging markets.
