I'm interested primarily in creative real estate methods to start (low/no money down, partnerships, subject-to, etc.), as I do not have much available capital. 

Thomas, I get your goal of wanting to be creative to increase your equity, however, all the responses point to your method as being potentially problematic.

The concept you laid out in your spreadsheets is very interesting, and I love the creativity involved.

I would call it a red flag if they resist giving you everything you request for your DD document list quite quickly, their speed and thoroughness in response to that shows their willingness to sell imho.When you schedule your inspection you want all your professionals there at the same time to go through a single time, contractor, inspector, and any specialists you think you might need like roofer, engineer, etc.Also don’t feel pressured to make your DD and inspection time as limited as is common in SFR, give yourself 2-3 months at least, again, from when they deliver the docs you request.Besides financial DD you want to do physical DD not just on the property via inspections but visiting the area during day and night, weekdays and weekends, to ensure you have a feel for everything that’s happening at different times all the way around the block.
