Once you are dealing directly with an owner instead of through an intermediary, you can get creative. 

I'm not sure if there is a creative way to accomplish my goal through that software that is integrated as well.

Since I don’t have many assets or a lot of cash on hand, I’ll need to be creative and strategic. 

If you can get a multi unit to house hack you could potentially do a short term rental of your space while you're out of the countrry if you really wanted to get creative but either way house hacking gives you the experience of being a real estate investor while being hands on and managing a renovation if you chose to do one and being a property manager. 

Being in STR, there are all sorts of things that pop up and being resourceful and creative in problem solving is huge.

Once you get multiple under your belt, it becomes a lot easier to do this type of creative financing.Just keep in mind, private money loans can come with higher interest rates, so you’ll want to ensure the margins on your flip are high enough to cover those costs while still leaving room for profit.If you’ve got any more questions, feel free to reach out—happy to help where I can!

Anything Multi-Family,  Creative Financing, etc.We are looking forward to meeting you all! 

Since then, I still do some creative finance, but also do many BRRRR which also I have to buy them at a healthy discount.

and it's not that anywhere is "saturated," it's that prices AND rates are high.or as @Travis Timmons said - a creative niche that you excel in will cashflow. 

I am also open to how to find creative financing.
