I am new to the field of real estate investment.

What are some unconventional creative financing strategies you've personally used or encountered in real estate investing that led to unexpected success, and what lessons did you learn from those experiences?

Welcome to the forum Edward!

If your going the CC wrote, which Crum you just made it sound very complicated (moving parts to pay a bill), might as well get the three CC's and the max limit you can. 

My insurance provider has given me a warning that this will change my insurance from a standard dwelling/fire to a surplus line, specific to undergrad tenants. 

All great things to consider and I appreciate the recommendations. 

They are normal to think about, but these kind of questions are going to give you limited beliefs and prevent you from moving forward on a potentially great property.

It is expected to bring 750k. 

I am curious if there is anyone can help with the Cumberland County portal links to find 1) Current and Previous owners of the property 2) Previous property sale history.Any other suggestions are also welcome.

or do you try to not go over a certain percentage like 5-6% of your tenant's current rent ?
