But if you get creative/clever like Chris is suggesting, then go with his advice as far as how to maybe pull it off.

(Brian, by the way, you're a terrific writer.  

Walk away from the deal (really don't want to do this but may have to....)Any other creative ideas? 

This could have been achieved with creative finance: but not with a conventional loan and more than likely not without a partner.Recommend these secured credit cards:-Citi-Discover (offers rewards)-Capital OneUse automatic payments on the full balance and only utilize 30 percent of your card limit; 10 percent is optimal.

Borrowing from friends and family and going into my 401k I might be able to rustle up 30-40k but that's a long shot for even HUD multifamily financing...Would anyone have any insight on how to get partners or have creative financing strategies for me?

Hello,I am current researching creative ways to fund investments.

Ive been posting but without much results.My broker is against some creative things like lease options.Good or bad?

Can anyone recommend an attorney in WA state who specializes in this type of creative financing?

Since a large majority of the prospects that you will generate in your marketing will not want to do business in a "wholesale" capacity or may not be able to do owner financing or other forms of creative financing; you might as well as get SOMETHING for your efforts.While it is illegal for them to pay you fees (yes I know its done however) for those leads, there is absolutely nothing wrong with them agreeing to help you with exchanging information.  

They may be willing to be a little more creative and structure the deal in a way that will fund 100% but they take half of the profits as well.
