Looking forward to some creative responses and hopefully a tax attorney referral! 

But then I was tapped out on access to funds, so I switched to creative means, obtaining the next 3 properties via lease-options.

Even with a lower prime rate, the affordability boost is limited if home prices remain elevated and rents don’t increase proportionally.For investors, this might be the time to get creative: value-add strategies, BRRRR, or exploring underserved markets where rents still have room to grow might help improve cash flow potential.

If you could stomach the negative cashflow or get creative holding is not bad.

If not feasible, consider increasing rent, reducing purchase price, incorporating future benefits, or targeting multifamily properties.

I had to basically start from the beginning again bc the attorney I used for the longest time retired and my original post was basically like starting over--creative financing is foreign to most now.

Currently looking to purchase a long-term rental and have heard of some of the low or no percent down options such as with creative financing.

Leveraging debt is our foundation as investors, but paying it down when we can will always open up more opportunities to get creative with out money later on. 

After some creative landscaping (and a lot of guacamole), it became one of my best rental properties.From my experiences, here are a few tidbits:Do Thorough Research: Before the auction, I dove deep into property records.

And time freedom still incorporates working.
