Hi, what Kevin is saying about compensation is 100% correct, but may be slightly different here if you request for discounted rent rather than receiving cash compensation directly.

I'm not very well versed on creative financing yet so maybe a better option that doesn't require me parting with my cash?

About to close a deal all cash for $1.46M and was going to get a cash out refi after to take out about $630K in cash.

Cash buyers galore.

@Timothy Yang"immediate cash flow" on an investment property after putting 25% down is an illusion. 

Here's my #1 dissatisfier in dealing with agents: Most have NO idea how to evaluate investment properties.I HATE when agents bring me a so-called "deal" without having first determined whether it actually makes sense financially.Then, when I do run the numbers and calculate a cash flow of $50/mo and a cash-on-cash return of 3%, I feel violated, like my time has been totally wasted.And, that's the last "deal" I'll ever consider from that agent!

Further, you now own a “free and clear” property you can borrow against should you desire and probably get all your invested cash out.3.

We have one right now finishing up, high end small custom> 95% return cash on cash, bought land retail 2.5yrs ago (peak). $1.7M costs, $2.25M completed value.
