Hey Jeff, Are you opposed to creative finance?

Our neighbors, a couple who harbored a narrow vision of neighborhood identity, opposed our mission to rent out our home.

Also, full disclosure - I have utilized creative financing & transaction structures (installment sale transactions, had the seller take back 2nd position notes, baked brokerage fees into the agrement of sale  in off market transactions to name a few), so I am not opposed to it, but they were utilized in very unique and circumstantial land entitlement transactions. 

They are also highly qualified borrowers as opposed to last cycle.  

It had a, what some may call, high entry fee in itself.Private lenders as you probably already know lend on/against assets, opposed to your DTI, etc.

Fake financing is allowing you to pay in installments but entirely by the delivery of the property as opposed to paying 100% at the signing of the contract!

Sorry, my dude, I have to oppose you (strongly).

i need to figure out the financing as opposed to paying cash. 

Real Estate.How about if we leave it at this:For those of you whose goal is to preserve the integrity of the appraisal process, do what Bill and Real Estate suggest.For those of you whose goal is to get your appraisals to come in higher, follow my advice in the original post above.No, that's putting my comments in the wrong category, my comments are not about the integrity of the appraisal at all.My suggestion really is not that opposed to what you feel is an important approach at all.

Let's assume the rental income from these 10 properties is sufficient to cover the costs of a property manager and you opt to self manage as opposed to hire a 3rd party manager.
