I've concentrated on creative formulas, which include financing, exchanging, and other methods of solving real estate issues.

I buy houses at 15%-20% of current fair market value.A hard money lender will put up Half only in this scenario.All of the various methods on this website REQUIRE finding a good deal except for owner occupied FHA/Conventional financing and that takes at least mediocre credit.

Some methods make sense and some don't.

This method in my opinion is pretty much mentorship and cash for deals without any upfront financial cost.

Another option is to find a experienced wholesaler and help him until you learn the trade on your own.As per finding deals, there are many many ways.

Yes, Yes, with proper deposits and built in protection with rent prices via maintenance reserves.This is one method we are considering rather than trying to find a flip to increase investment capital this year.Thoughts, considering low Cash on Cash but possible increased investment capital through equity?

Would I have to find another method of financing the second deal like hard money or private funding?

(Depending on if you were day trading or buy and hold strategy that would determine if you pay capital gains tax or ordinary income tax)Let me get to my point....

So to me that trade off is worth it and I'll look at other deals from a hard investment stance.

Realty folks will use comps instead of the cap rate method for valuing the property.
