My current strategy is creative finance an wholesaling, all depending on the deal.

Assuming no unforeseen expenses, Yearly cashflow=101,000Final CommentsI would have to implement very creative financing regardless of the final price.

I know many well say Excel, but I want to see if other more experienced investors had any creative ideas??

I haven't done a deal before but I wanted to be prepared to know what to do because I'm afraid that if I don't know the process inside and out I'll come off unprofessional and untrustworthy to the seller with my ignorance especially with the fact that I'm a young investor.

Is there something I could be overlooking as far as "jobs" or careers that would lend to increasing my knowledge in this field while I  work to earn cash and learn while preparing to launch off on my own?

Thank you for your creative help!

Everything we have been doing so far has been very “conventional “ from our home searches to our finances and we are slowly learning that much more creativity is needed to get us to where we want to be as investors.

My goal going forward is to scale up, buying as many properties as possible by any means possible (conventional or creative financing).
