I know a lot of people use creative financing and buy properties with no or very less money down.If there are people here who can help me out reach this goal by guiding me, it will be a huge favor. 

Cool idea, people are getting so creative with different options in SD.

Our strategy is a fix and flip and we're fairly confident we can be in and out in 90-120 days - still scoping the reno timeline though.A question for this group: the down payment really killed us, and so we're looking for creative ways to fund the renos and stretch our budget.

I'm not a good writer so I hope this makes sense.

We learned to get creative in our bidding and the power of persistence and believing in your ultimate goal.

Whatever "creative" strategy you use you will need some cash reserves in your hands.

I have cash for a down payment but considering saving it for reserves and looking for more creative ways to more cash flexibility.

Creative financing would also make a lot of deals now look better, including seller financing where you can make any terms you want.

You definitely want to learn those first.Unfortunately once you learn to run the numbers, you'll find there really aren't any properties in SoCal that will do much for you unless you have a lot of skill in creativity and know how to make something work.

I am totally willing to get creative and figure something out as I don’t want to wait another year and a half to buy.My question is this: what alternatives do I have?
