Otherwise evaluate the property and if it pencils, then get creative!

I am looking to connect with real professionals in area- investor agents, creative mortgage brokers and other investors.

I can help with EMD funding, disposition, and creative finance if the seller is asking for too much. 

I first started out by driving for dollars and calling homeowners, people have been closing real estate deals by picking up the phone for decades.More advanced marketing channels are Direct mail, PPC, SEO.If you'd like to get creative there are radio ads and tv commercials which can help you create a brand.The main thing is to just stay infront of people and keep making offers.Best of luck.

Having every process laid out really allows you to open up more room for creativity/innovation from the people who work with you so then they can help you figure what is more efficient, what works best, and how to overall improve. 

That's exactly why we are looking to see of anyone has any creative ideas. 

People get "creative" when they CANNOT go those routes.  

Is there any lender out there doing 10%-15% down payment financing for multi unit building of 7-20 units or creative financing?

I'm also interested in creative financing methods in case my preapproval isn't high enough for a tri or quadplex.

Now... here is what we did:AFTER:Now, when you look closely... its just shiplap for the bathrooms, framing in a standard island in the kitchen and accenting it with more shiplap, an extra faucet for the stove range (a pot filler is our signature move but there obviously is no wall to put one for the stove so we had to be creative)...All and all this added maybe a few extra grand to the budget and look how different this ended up compared to what most rental investors would do... and BECAUSE we chose these finishes the market value of the house skyrocketed and we get more money back when we refinance it.
