I want to learn how to be flexible with creative financing and how to structure deals to solve distressed sellers' problems. 

They offer more flexibility. 

As long as it is flexible enough to tailor it to my own needs, I think that I will give it a chance.

Semi-flexible timeline.

When you get closer to retirement and at the point of needing a stable income there would be a place for it for the portion of your portfolio.Truly self-directed Solo 401k plan would give you most flexibility and control.

I figured since it was a credit union that it would be a little more flexible, but I was wrong. 

It helps that I always work for minimal overlays firms (specifically for this type of deal-saving added flexibility) and I identified the solution, but the agent got to be the hero in the eyes of the homebuyers too, for marketing the property, finding that tenant, and getting that security deposit so quickly.

So that:* investor would want to work with me more* I can be more flexible with how I help distressed seller.anyways, I more interested on what you have to say.thanks in advance

I think my ultimate goals are to 1. have a lot more flexibility 2. create lasting wealth for my family3. improve the urban environment/communityOne think I didn't mention is that I'm an architect by day and I've had experience designing large multi-family properties.

Also make the agreement month to month so they are quite flexible if they need to leave.
