The investors I work for use some creative methods to acquire properties.

But it depends on how many bedrooms etc.

If the applicant lived in a SFH and it is owner managed (and you don't know the owner's name), now you have to be a little more creative.

I'd definitely second house hacking with either a 2-3 bedroom house or a small multifamily.

We go to the upstairs bedroom and the bathtub has 4 cracks that are clearly leaking water.

One of mine comes to mind as an example - mixed use building (2 retail spaces on the main level and a 2 bedroom apartment upstairs), great area too.

The back of the house has an attached unit that could be renovated and used for a one bedroom long-term rental or a 4 person short-term rental.

So my question is should I save until I can finance a property a more conventional way ( which I’m worried they would tell me the same thing then) or do you know more creative ways I can get financing?

That’s what I’d really like to know.And with me being a newbie I figured that the comps had to be very specific but I’m assuming it’s finding the most ideal comps in terms of square footage and bedrooms?
