I am also looking for subjects that people want to learn about that I can incorporate into my blog moving forward into 2017. 

I do know a creative way to use your money as down payment money get it back at closing cash as repair or incentive money.

Figure out ways to be creative with what you've made, educate yourself on your options and keep the tax man out of your pocket come 2018.

Or is there a more creative way to handle this?

So I have been spending a lot of time of understanding several different financing techniques and the power of leverage. So here are the cards in my hands before playing...- I just have been working my current employe...

a friend of mine and i are meeting in a few hours to start planning for our first property purchase. we both live in manhattan and are looking to purchase a 4-6 unit residential building in the nyc metro area (most likely an outer borough or nj) to begin buying and holding properties. we are looking for properties that will require work / reparis upfront. what are some important first steps that you would discuss with a partner upon starting up (i.e. financing, partnership structures, deal sourcing, property management, business incorporation, etc etc etc.). my background is in finance, and his is in architecture, and we're friends from college.

I have a lot of freedom and my current company allows me to do a lot of creative stuff both for myself and my clients.

I know that after trying to negotiate, create a situation in my favor, and ask the seller for owner financing to creatively and with low money down purchase this house, that I could have done everything in the process better.

If you need something very creative he is unbeatable.

Creative financing, a home equity line of credit, or cash out refinance, ect?
