My wife and I have obtained three traditional loans and one lease with the option to purchase, resulting in most banks turning us down based on debt to income (non-portfolio lenders). 

Starting out as a wholesaler appeared to be the best place to start in Real Estate for me.

I don't think we are going to be able to come up with $50K before they're going to need to move and no, definitely no family members able to gift $50K. 

I’m curious, what’s the most creative or unconventional strategy you've used to structure a BRRRR or Fix-and-Flip deal?

I am thinking of Enrolling in the first deal program with Brandon Turner.

With the right renovations, we saw it as an ideal project to maximize returns in a growing market, especially with our experienced partner, Seth Choate, by our side.

Some take on the business w/o having the proper systems in place to deal with low-demographic tenants & properties.We also see owners being part of the problem - expecting Class A fees, service & results from their Class C & D properties.

Quote from @Sumi Devi: One of my clients is buying commercial real estate property with tenants that have 5 year lease.

I am leery because it is such a small deal…just 1 small 1 bedroom unit…and not a great a deal unless maybe you are local and have a use for it…walk to community college.  

I got my first Motel/Commercial deal under contract.
