So in essence, Bigger Pockets are full of crap when they are telling me to borrow money (other peoples money) or do creative financing!?

Absolutely, my comments above were limited to the conventional approach, we can certainly get creative.

Is there a local group of REIs that incorporate this into their business model that anyone knows of?

I love the creativity and informativeness of the responses to each question posted here.

Are you doing anything creative or making a lot of offers of properties that come on market?

After a couple of financial setbacks, I'm still trying to get a hold on a creative real estate investment deal down.

Hey Chris - You may be on to a good deal, but we need more information to see whether there is a creative financing solution you (and the seller) can take advantage of.

. , awesome find and even better use of creative financing!

Why don't you write up an offer with owner carry at their price for 1 year, then you can do a straight refinance into a conventional in six months, using the other units rent to help qualify.Some agents may frown upon this approach, either because they don't understand it, or are afraid they'll lose their commission, but if the house isn't selling, its time to educate them on getting creative.
