But it's fun to be creative.

Mike Weese, I learned several methods for buying property with no money down, aka creative financing. 

We are trying to creatively find a more affordable solution that will allow us to meet our goal of starting the build later this fall.The Problem: A section of our lot had a swampy area.

As Andrew pointed out, conventional/Fannie/Freddie loans are a bit of a commodity - just about any bank or mortgage broker can originate those.Once you get to 10 financed properties, or if you need the ability for more creativity and flexibility in lending, you need a local bank that will get to know you and operates in the communities where you live and plan on investing.

I've been poking around looking for creative lenders since my industry is government construction and it involves surety bonds -- most lenders wont touch construction, and most of those who do, don't want to touch surety bonded projects--, most of them want to either go SBA, invoice factoring, or merchant cash advance.

Forget about buy and hold- lease option- and creative financing  Step 4.

I recently watch a video on you tube where it seemed like a pretty common practice of creative financing.

Hey guys I've read a lot about creative ways i could use lease options but then i heard that you can't do it in Texas.

Looking forward to any responses from the creative minds out there!!  

Hello everyone,I am new to real estate investing I love reading all of your advice and details on the deals you're working on , I stay in Milwaukee and we have a lot of foreclosed, boarded up homes if anyone is willing to connect I am be boots on the ground here for you.I know Milwaukee isn't the most desirable city but to a creative person I feel like with the things we have building up in the city this could be a potential gold mine.
