Eventually I'll like to move into MFR at which I'll be looking for other creative financing methods.

For an example of meticulous due diligence in completing a SAR, the SAR’s Part V section itself requires careful explanation and/or description of “known or suspected violation of law or suspicious activity” and the care with which it is completed may make the difference in whether or not the described conduct and its possible criminal nature are clearly understood and recorded.

There are tons of helpful users on here and a wealth of information to glean from other users.Commercial and residential can be quite different due to the nature of who wants your space.

Hi David,I've used this method successfully 7-8 times over the past 10 years when flipping and can share my experience and methods. 

We're starting to look at FSBO or finding that pre-foreclose before it gets listed.Does anyone know a good method for finding these properties?

Dry naturally and repeat.If it's a flip, I'd source wood look laminate or the above mentioned tiles.

But Dave Ramsey's method is illogical.  

Is there a creative finance method that can be used in my situation that will not trigger DOS and also will not leave me with a huge tax bill once ownership is transferred?
