I also have enough cash left to possibly be able to purchase another low end property - a trailer on 2 lots in an area that I expect to join the "boom" within 5 years - without getting too creative with the financing.

If you are going to need financing, you are probably going to have to get your wife involved with the loan docs.I would say that your best bet would be to study as much as you can on creative financing techniques (lease/option, land contracts, subject-to) in order to eliminate the need for your wife's cooperation.Tell us what her perspective is please.

However, I did not find anything about starting a leasing company or creative ways of using a non-profit organization to purchase property.

Mostly, I've stuck with "creative" real estate resources since I've heard this is a good place for someone with little cash or credit.

I've flipped some houses in the past, but have never used any creative financing.

If you and others around you question what you do and thing, and you veer away from making decisions you are simply stopping yourself from reaching your fullest potential as an investor.You are allowing this self-doubt and doubt from others to squeeze out your creative energy and inspiration that will make you a success.So what is stopping you from making that important decision in selecting a real estate education?

The best thing you can start doing is making offers and start getting prepared for rejections; somtimes people might bark at you.

Sure I can, but I must say that I obviously don't have much experience in the "creative financing" aspect of real estate, but I'm learning more and more by the minute (or post).I acquired my first property on the last business day of last year.

Sold the $50K for $73K FIRST DAY IN THE PAPER.My ad says "3/2 (or 2/2) owner will finance with $2000 down payment".Buyer has to bring the following to closingBalance of his $2K (I usually get $1K at contract signing)One year of PAID homeowner's insuranceThree months of taxes and insurance payment that I WILL ESCROW$350 for DOCUMENT PREPARATION.

However, I am preparing for a series of talks about the structure of our business entity, and subsequently sign partnership agreement.
