Any suggestions/alternative solutions would be appreciated.  

I'm wondering if anyone has alternate financing strategy suggestions on alternate financing strategies for us for the next 4-6 homes we open over the next 2 years. 

the incentive to this is they can ask for 10-20% down payment which might help them get into another home for thier dp also if they list the previous property as a source of income for cashflow increase as well.the next option would be short sale, sometimes extremely difficult to get the bank to agree to. if their main priority is moving, do they have additional properties or need to reserve credit to enter into a new mortgage. leasing is another alternative but depending on local rental pricing/ mortgage payments/ insurance and taxes, are they at profit or break even?

Does anyone know if there are alternatives?
