Ones that have the financial credibility, but are just short on their credit scores.

PRO: these are short term loans (usually repayment should take less than 1 year MAX).

This could be potential for short sale, though.

We can use end buyers funds to fund the transaction, as long as it's not a short sale and the end buyer is using cash or hard money.

Some will lend on that after a short seasoning period, say rehab the property and get a tenant in it.

With 5 mortgage payments, PLUS rental, we would be able to achieve full ownership of the property in a (relatively) short time span.

A short cut of sorts, that EVERYONE can take advantage of.

Short of "foot knocking" and "driving for dollars" I cannot think about manny other ways to find what you are looking for.

If you think you will go FHA, Conventional, 203k, etc. and then Quit Claim the property, to a LLC, or a Land Trust you run the risk of the lender discovering a Title Transfer occurred and activating the "Acceleration Clause" or "Due on Sale Clause" that requires the loan to be paid in full, within 'x' number of days.

Short term, I am looking to get my feet wet, I want to learn as much as I can about rental properties, flipping, and buy and hold to gain enough information to be comfortable with my first deal.Long term, I hope to acquire enough rental property to produce enough passive income that would allow me to spend more time with my wife and newborn baby girl.I would like to thank everyone in advance for your knowledge and time in working with me.
