As all of you already know, and from what I am learning, creative investing is the absolute best way to get started in this field.

Plus with 1/1's being a lot less stable, prepare for your property manager to eat you alive when replacing tenants.

Good morning BP , I’ve been reading some good books about creative financing strategies as a way to get “low or no money down deals .

Does anybody have any creative ideas how I can close this deal?

This could be a sticking point if you try and put it all on them and they push back, if their repairs exceed the deposit does your lease speak toward litigation for damages, are you prepared to go to court?

Now that's creative!

My income level presently is 85 K I am looking for a creative financing strategy to allow the purchase of the house we wish to downsize to while prepping our current house to sell. 

I know there are many options and creative approaches one can take so I'm tossing this out in the hopes that the light bulb goes off. 

No doubt its all fake....I will occasionally watch just to get some creative design ideas and latest trends in remodels etcRenovation Realities...... the one where homeowners do tjheir own remodels in the best one !!

And be prepared for relatively small attendance.
