Or, any other creative partnering agreement you can work out.

I would emphasize about your skills (if any) and bring that up.Read up on some creative financing techniques and come prepared to present them in the best positive light.I would say, dress conservatively as you go around looking at properties.

After that deal i learned how to pick contractors and what you need to include in any agreement, to ensure compliance.

I like commercial because there is not as much competition for it.You can structure a deal more creatively and there are more different types of lender loans than for residential.Residential is highly regulated by the government now.Commercial I don't want the government messing it up as well and squashing creative financing.I like commercial for economies of scale and ramping up larger transactions.You can make money in residential it is just not my thing.I like retail and multifamily.Medical will be hot for many decades to come as well with the boomer generation retiring.I don't care much for industrial but I am seeing some transition areas where a developer takes an industrial shell of a warehouse leasing at 2 sq ft.They put improvements in and get rezoned to mixed use retail and get 15 sq ft lease rates.

The typical FMV of similar units is between $70-75k.Seller is motivated and willing to listen to creative financing offers.

Buy and hold is capital intensive unless I can find some very motivated sellers to get creative financing with.

Just a thought....sometimes you have to be a little creative....

If you fail to ensure there is a proper license is present, you could face serious liability from the investors and the SEC/FINRA for that matter.

I want to make the guy an offer that he won't scoff at, but I obviously want to ensure a nice profit.

We have plenty of skin in the game on this deal, ie: 20% down and cash reserves on all 4 homes we own.Just trying to leverage the best I can with getting the next deal going.Am I missing something on getting creative?
