I replaced two roofs on rental properties.

Hey David, this sounds like a great project with the potential to add a lot of value to your property.

I am sure the answer is "it depends" hence the term "creative financing" but was hoping people might offer a few examples to help me think more about how i might approach deals where the seller is motivated and the property as been listed for a long time.

He came to me to see if   I would be open to co-owning the property.

Essentially how do we separate from partnering on each property when the time comes? 

I am willing to offer 5% ownership of any properties I purchase with them as co-signers.

Ordering an appraisal for such a small property would be silly. 

There are different types of investments like residential properties, commercial real estate, or short-term rentals.
