For mid-size+ commercial properties it is common to "incorporate the property" (i.e. create a company whose only asset is the property).

Seeing as its free and clear, I'm thinking of creative ways to get into the home with little out of pocket up front.

It seems like a good area to get into buy and holds (using creative financing techniques) or wholesaling to buy and hold investors.

Specifically to define entity structure for these activities (buy/hold; fix/flip; wholesale); advise on creative finance strategies for buying ten SFR properties in succession; best use of existing capital and investments partnered with either private or hard money lenders; develop a strategy for future growth; build my chart of accounts (I will handle the bookkeeping side); prepare tax returns; recommend other team members, including legal, brokers/lenders, etc.

A lot of that could come down to creativity.

Here's an excerpt from Guide Note 14 of the Appraisal Institute: The Appraisal Institute text The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, 5th Edition, includes the following in its entry for “market value”: The most widely accepted components of market value are incorporated in the following definition: The most probable price that the specified property interest should sell for in a competitive market after a reasonable exposure time, as of a specified date, in cash, or in terms equivalent to cash, under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, with the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably, for self-interest, and assuming that neither is under duress.

Is there some other creative method that I am not aware of?

Definitely schedule it up, but if you can't wait incorporate repairs in your bid price.

I was also able to purchase a 3rd rental for $77k and it rents for $1200.Now, I'm pretty much out of cash to purchase anything else, unless I get creative.

I know NOTHING about Commercial Real Estate but I can tell you that if you are incorporating PROACTIVE marketing (cold calling and door knocking) with PASSIVE marketing (direct mail, emails etc) that is the recipe for success in ANY business.Good luck and keep up the good work
