There was enough cash flow that I creatively used a 3rd mortgage to help fund the 20% down on the first two loans.

@DeBret McGee IIYour best bet is to secure a deal with creative financing, seller financing or meter lease options.

Russ has a lot of creative solutions and uses established case law to work in ways that some of the more "cut & dry" intermediaries do not.

If you're in the real estate investment business and must watch every penny, irrespective of your time, then by all means, do what you think will keep your expenses to a minimum.If, on the other hand, you are really in the business of creating profit by way of being a good marketer and a committed dealmaker, your creative energies ought to be reserved for doing what you do best (or intend to do best)...

To fund additional investments, consider side income, creative financing or creating a timeline with your co-owner for converting property B into a rental to generate cash flow.

Partner with other investors, consider seller financing or creative financing, and focus on saving and cash flow from your current property.

What’s been most effective for you, and are there any unique or creative approaches you’ve tried that have worked?

As I complete my current project, I'm already eager to take on the next one and explore creative ways to maximize property potential.

I have a few realtors whom I have relations with however my network does not specialize in creative financing.

What are some other creative things others have done with this type of land?
