Are there other creative financing options that we are overlooking?  

We are happy to have you :)Also I hoped to leave you with some advice: once you learn what the masses are doing...

While I specialize in selling renovated turn key properties to investor clients we are still doing quite a bit of wholesaling as well!

Charlotte it a great place to invest, we are one of the fastest growing cities right now.  

Given where we (my wife and I) are now we average well over 20% cash on cash ROI from real estate investing so we are not going to use our cash to pay down a 5-6% interest loans when we can make 3-5 times that investing our money.

Remember, we never look for simple ways :DThe situation that I'm inquiring about will arise when we buy a flip with hard money, do a rehab and want to sell the house without waiting for subdivision to go through (rental with hard money won't work and we are not interested to refinance either). 

The buyer received his money back for the appraisal and we are now going to try another lender.

We are currently using quickbooks and looking for a property management software company with features to more efficiently meet our marketing, tenant screening, lease paperwork, maintenance requests etc..

We are our own broker so we get 100% of our commissions and have a bit of overhead - or we could take that license to a 100% company and have a few office fees that would be about the same as our current overhead.  

Right now we are looking into becoming licensed agents, and possibly work with an investor-friendly brokerage in order to make more money and really get a feel for this business.
