I'd also recommend attending meet ups to see what other creative things people in your area have done for financing. 

., types of lenders, down payments, “creative” ideas, loan criteria, loan requirements, etc….goal for me would be to put 10% or less down if possible)-advice on inspections and repairs required at time of purchase.  

Finding homes to flip in this condition can be done through popular online listing websites or through manual and creative methods like searching public records and advertising on signs.

Creative Financing for sure.

Hey I'm looking for any creative renovation financing products out there.

So, I have considered the following options: 1) Sell as-is and take my losses (approx. 30k) 2) Full remodel and get what I can for it 3) Mid-level remodel and get what I can 4) Rent out and eat cost, little by little * Will prevent me from buying another property for a while 5) Owner/Seller finance * As-Is and at cost, or * After mid or full rehab 6) Lease Option * As-Is and at cost, or * After mid or full rehabI want to ask experienced and creative investors out there for their help in minimizing my losses.

Trying to get creative...

I've been thinking about what the best way would be to launch my startup in the greater Pittsburgh area so I thought why not just ask as I know there are a lot of very smart and creative people here.I launched DirectSubs in Philadelphia a couple years back, it connects real estate investors with local contractors for their flips, rentals, renovations and new construction projects.

Hey, Now is the perfect time for CREATIVE INVESTING in real estate especially for those with low money.

If you are focusing on creative finance options I would not worry about cap rate as the purchase price is less important then the terms (albeit still important).
