I was thinking on the lines of creatively

That is quite the creative solution. 

Ensure your general contractor has a robust network of sub-contractors. 2.

How do I ensure that appraisal will be close to $60k before I pull the trigger?

The seller has a beautiful townhouse all brick 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car garage asking 36,000 well taking care of and only wants cash for it and I don’t want to use my money just want to go down the creative route.

Question is how would I get down payment I did ask for payment on the 3,000 payment is there any other options I have to get the 3,000 down payment as I do not want to have to get it myself but creative ways I prefer?

What leverage could you use to ensure your agent would be looking out for your best interest and not conspiring with locals just to make a sale.

What we should be doing is finding creative ways to work together that does not violate laws.

Bottom-line question: Is there any creative strategy to get a place rented as soon as it's ready or does the advertising and tenant selection necessarily have to start at that point?

I also found a rare SFH with an in law suite with separate entrance which has allowed me to find some creative methods of continuing my house hacking ways.
