Hi,There's lots of great info on this site so I thought I'd reach out and seek some advice on using creative techniques to acquire our own home.Background:We live in Atlanta but are originally from overseas (we own rentals in another country so not new to RE).

I don't know about the different types of financing/creative financing etc that are out there- I'm an "old school" person- used to conventional lending etc.

I hesitate to mention how loans can be designed sometimes as I know we have a bunch of "thinkers" here that may jump on something thinking they will know how to DIY something, so I really suggest the use of a mortgage originator to ensure affordability and an attorney as to compliance!

All of my financing so far has been standard bank loans, or creative bank financing with non-standard loans and equity lines.

Long term tenant is one of the most important things that I look for during the selection process and having a yearly lease in place helps ensure that to a certain extent, I guess.

They want to ensure it's a good deal.

BTW: "you have to sell quickly in order to raise your cash margin back up or is there some creative way you guys refi your cash purchases right after closing avoiding the seasoning restrictions?"

There are many creative ways to do deals and/or make money in real estate.So feel free to call or email me anytime and let's discuss opportunity.

Convincing them that they should short sale with you coming to the table with 100% financing might be a large hurdle to overcome unless you are creative.

The reason why I put the "and/or assigns" on my contracts is to ensure that all parties are on board.
