@Daniel Mills Yeah very true, I'm preparing to purchase and rehab my first property that's why I asked!

Something to help me set goal, stick to criteria, and organize myself as I prepare to transition into this in 18 months.

They begin title work, calling the attorney changing the trustee if necessary to commence the process, prepare notices for publication, all that adds up, it costs money to do all that.

Could you get creative with the wholesaler and maybe bring him into the deal as a partner so that you're obtaining the financing through his LLC in order to alleviate the lender's concerns?

In the 12 monther's minds, straightforward 12 month leases are worth waiting for, but if you get creative, you open up your tenant market a little bit.

I know there are some creative strategies out there but I can't imagine being able to get an individual I don't know to lend me $500k with no money down of my own!

Try studying seller financing and other creative ways to acquire property.

If they choose to address your offer, they will prepare addendums, which will take another 1-3 business days.....so the POS inspection could very well happen within that time frame.

I have done this numerous times with title companies but some of these real estate attorney's in Northern New Jersey don't understand creative real estate investing.

Does anyone happen to have any creative ideas as to how we can get this financed as an investment property?
