I feel I have a creative mindset to work in the currently tighter market.

It was a full year before I did any kind of creative deal. 

My team & I are looking to host our first meetup at a new workspace in Brooklyn founded by one of our affiliates (read more about the space here https://www.blackenterprise.com/innovation-hub-creatives-brooklyn/).I’d like to get a gage on if there are any local BP members whom would be interested in attending or possibly even being a guest speaker.

If this is what I want to do once I finish college what could I do to begin preparing myself besides networking and continuing to learn.

We would be looking to rent the space as work/live or an office or creative space of some kind.

I was also not prepared to analyse a complex rehab.

For the past two years, since beginning this journey, I have consumed every podcast and been absorbed in the forums; I’ve saved nearly every dollar I can and put that towards real estate deals; I’ve pushed my contractor hard, paid him well, but pushed him hard; run my business determined; thought about real estate every day; creatively strategized my next move daily; put relationships on the backburner; and paid myself first.

Also is using a HELOC considered creative financing (I keep reading about creative financing, just unsure if HELOCS fall In that category)Lastly I am looking to connect with another buy and hold investor who would be willing to look at my current situation and give ideas on what should be my next move and or what I need to educate myself more on.

Although a good cpa could probably prepare those docunents, I think it is advisable to have an attorney who specializes in this area.  

I will definitely have to be prepared for the change in climate.
