This is the time to test our creativity and start asking ourselves how can we make it work instead of saying it doesn't work.  

Creative finance is a good route to go and doesn't have to be too complicated - your title company can help you through it.

Challenging my creativity to make small priced investments that significantly increase value.

@Widny Fegond I'm not sure what part of NY you are from - but there might be opportunities if you get creative.

However, you should investigate the 203k (from the FHA family) loan through this website and with others who have used it, this would allow you to incorporate rehab costs into the sale of the home.Another option is to find a cosmetic rehab.

Hi BP CommunityI need an attorney in Northern NJ who is familiar with owner finance or creative financing. 

Is also possible with private/hard money or seller financing where you can essentially be as creative as you want

It could depend on your market, your Landlord-Tenant laws, the court system, your policies and procedures, how well you enforce your policies and procedures, how creative you are with your leases, and many other factors.My market works great for one-year leases.

Super specific and hard to comment on...Creativity is key.

Folks do find deals here, but typically they require cash or creativity to finance due to either seller distress or property condition.
