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

I'm looking at multiple flips that will yield a very good profit if I use a formula created by my partners based on local knowledge and connections.My partners are very busy people, and to tie them into these projects is to take them away from other opportunities, so out of consideration I'm trying not to make any moves I can't be 110% sure on.The only way these plans move forward is creative financing, as my credit is currently extended (happily, I might add) and unavailable.

Its a corner that is NOT fun to be backed into.With that said, using a HELOC for shorter term gains and then paying it off quickly is probably a safer and creative way to get ahead.

I would approach him/her by email and see what their response is.If they tell you that they're not interested, then contact your title company or find another more creative title company and ask if that will be acceptable to them.Then utilize it as your negotiation tool with the bank, that there're some questions in regards to the bankruptcy (but don't tell them that you've got it completely figured out)

I'm still going to keep my eyes open in So Cal for the 1% chance that something does come up but I've shifted my attention and research to finding a market that make sense based on crime rates, unemployment rates, job growth, etc.Your rule #7 makes common sense but I hadn't though about incorporating that into my overall strategy.

In the book "Ignore Everybody: and 39 Other Keys to Creativity" the author discusses the concept of "Sex and Money".

Also, I know the state has given business tax breaks like no state tax on non-w2 income to get more business to incorporate here.
