Does anyone have any creative tactics or helpful ideas?

I voted for Shanequa J. the tactic is a new low.

A good mentor coach should have a good working knowledge of all aspects of residential RE, otherwise I guarantee you that what they attempt to teach is how to fit a square peg in a round hole, forcing their tactics upon a seller/buyer and property.

I could also take the 2k and pay off a current 401k loan and then I could borrow 8k.Any tactics from the experienced?

:)Thanks John,A good way to start is to be patient and not fall for any pressure tactics or sake gimmicks.I a turn key operator is not willing to work with you for at least 6 months to a year before you make a purchase I suggest you move on and not do business with them.I have heard to many horror stories with investors jumping in too quickly.Thanks.

This is nothing different here, as I stated, buyer beware and know that it could be just a tactic or it could be the truth.As for holding a offer in hopes to get more, I don't think they actually holdthe offer, I believe they submit it to the bank (unless direvted by the lender to do otherwise - which does happen) and then have a hlding period in hopes of getting more offers so that they can pull the standard "highest and best" counter to all offers.In a perfect world, all agents, all sellers and all buyers would tell the truth, answer and return phone calls, and provide all the real and necessary information.

He covers everything from Seller Financing to Private Lenders.I personally haven't tried any of those tactics (currently trying to save up for the traditional 20% down), but let me know how it goes if you do!

To take that out of the business plan removes one of the primary tactics of the strategy. 

I have been using Zack’s real estate investing tactics and believe me, I could see great results.

Take opportunities like these to refine your tactics, letters, emails and all that.
