Hi All,I may be looking at my first Creative Financing deal.  

Is there another creative way to make my first purchase of a primary residence an investment in the hot Denver Real Estate Market?

All I would need is some creative thinking.

I don't have any equity or tens of thousands saved up to get started on my own so I am looking for creative financing to get started. 

You might want to consider simply putting together an Option Contract, so that you actually have a beneficial interest to market, and then exploring some of the more creative options.In my opinion

We are looking for possible other creative financing and possibly other partner investors or buyer investors that don't mind holding the property for rent income.UPDATE: I just dug up the Cook County Assessors letter from Mid April 2014 stating Estimated Fair Market Value at $358K , 2013 at $393K and 2012 at $393KThe 495K is from mortgage paperwork we found as well as pre foreclosure website search, listed that price as well.

I currently own and run a storytelling business - I help businesses-professionals-organizations tell their story, usually through web design and creative video production.Looking forward to connecting with anyone and everyone, especially those in and around the Twin Cities area.

Hahahahaha, points for creativity on the fly.

Creative finance.

I believe that the 6k appears as a "seller concession" on the HUD (again, I'm new at this...).I think you are wise to avoid trying to incorporate rent credits for the t/b in your proposal (Dodd-Frank).
