I'm In the process of learning about all the creative ways to wholesale and it's very interesting and exciting!

I'm wondering, are you suggesting that I should either pay the funding fee out of pocket or adjust my asking price to incorporate the fee on the loan?

You were speaking about "creative financing" so AITD "All Inclusive Trust Deed" is just another form of creative financing where you would wrap the underlying loan on a property, have the seller create a second and then you would pay on both with little or NO money down. 

I am aware there are infinitely creative ways of financing given enough time and effort, but I feel the options available to someone who has no steady income seem too risky and cut my margins for error more than I would like.

Also, you will get different answers from different individuals in this business as far as forming a business entity (e.g. incorporate, LLC).

I think it is more important to decide what you want your cashflow to be and then find and create deals that meet your criteria through creative negotiating. 

There are some nuances, and some creative structuring, but mostly we are all playing by the same rules.Whatever you do, Good Luck.Michael Lantrip

Hello everyone.  I'm relatively new to this and have successfully flipped a few small condos in the Columbus market using cash.  I'm looking to take on a larger project, something a little outside the box.There is pie...

While I am focusing on getting more familiar with the techniques and terms, there seems to me to be some realistic expectations you must have based on your home market, and the prices in that area.This leaves me with 3 options as I see it.1)   Continue to save more initial capital to meet the realistic barrier to entry- and stick in my home market.2) Entertain starting in different markets where the barrier to entry would vary significantly and therefore potentially require less initial capital.3) Attempt to creatively finance and stick in my home market.I guess what I am wondering is if anyone has any experience going the route of option 2?

I am always interested in creative and traditional financing to help me fund more deals.
