It seems as if sending the same mailed envelope, with the same return address over-and-over is a quick way to get your mail thrown in the trash, whereas switching-it-up with perhaps a postcard/letter alternating situation might increase your chances of getting your mailings read... 

@Dawn Anastasi  and what Marie and I are saying is that service is worth 7500.... my clients that do this charge 5 to 7500  depending on the volume they get... and its an alternative to turn key for sure.. if your happy making much less then that's OK also.. its a free market you can charge whatever you want to ...

I am needing some help finding alternative financing options, I know my credit will not allow me to purchase the property conventionally so that option is out of the question. 

.- a quick glance at the numbers - you won't create enough positive cash flow (might not create any at all) from the property to help close any gaps, so the money to do the above options will have to come from somewhere else.A few alternatives to consider:- negotiate a longer balloon period, ideally 3 or more years out as that buys you some time and breathing space.  

If so, find an area which it is not or alternative source of inventory.You need to know who you are playing against.Alternatively you can try to be REO agent yourself to get deals.  

Great alternative to private lenders because you have total control over the funds--just write a check once funded.

A perfect alternative: Try our unsecured revolving credit lines $100k minimum to $250k max.

There was a lot of discussion about the alternatives at the time and I was curious as to what decisions others made.I personally decided to go with Venmo and have been extremely happy so far.  

Does anyone have any ideas for maintenance-free alternatives?  

thank you for the insite , will continue to look into alternate financing.
