The times we’re re investing in just require a more creative and strategic approach than before.Disclaimer: My original post was removed by the moderation team. 

I'm working on a creative finance deal with a 50/50 subto/seller finance deal.

Quote from @Alan Mills: Got an inspection objection back with something I’ve not seen on my other rehab’s (this is a Colorado property):“The seller agrees to have a licensed plumber install external sewer cleanouts per city code and scope the sewer line ensuring its integrity.”This was a full interior/gut rehab and almost everything is brand new.

Then creative financing will super charge the deal.

The best thing you can do is familiarize yourself with Housing Quality Standards (HQS) and ensure your property meets them before your initial inspection.

It is YOUR money and YOUR investment so ensure you do YOUR due diligence.

After analyzing the potential ROI, we negotiated a fair price of $58,500, ensuring room for renovation costs and profit.

I want to ensure their experience is excellent in all areas.

Most lenders who order appraisals are required to order them through a 3rd party AMC, which can add additional costs to the appraisal but ensures that there is no lender (Or borrower) bias in regards to the values.

To ensure my replacement property value is at least $600k, I was considering putting the remaining $100k into a DST.
