Hi guys I am new to this and I will have lots of questions and hope someone could help.Here is my current situation:My girlfriend and I currently own a 3 family home. We have had this home for a year and did almost  $...

Did you already have a relationship with the agent or did you creatively get one onboard and had them market it for you as a pocket listing? 

In short, you get an extra long lecture on commitment and on how they work in creative real estate vs traditional real estate investing, how it is NOT open enrollment (they supposedly only allow one person per area unless it is a very large area), you get a couple questionnaires, and they review your responses and get back to you whether you are good to move forward or not. 

If this ruling stands, some muni is going to get creative.

I told them to "get creative" but they seemed unable or unwilling to think outside the box. 

I obviously want to get it for as cheap as possible.I do have funds for a down payment, however I do not want to tie up all of my money as I want to be able to buy more in the near future.My question is what are some creative ways to purchase this property without coming out of pocket with a lot of funds, and making it appealing to the seller?

--------I'm under no illusions that this is a good deal, but I wanted to see if there was a possibility of doing something creative to make a win/win for us both. 

Fortunately, my day job is in marketing for a creative digital agency, so I've got that covered ;)Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Personally, I have no reservations about presenting creative offers to get a good deal.

Darren Sager the new law have restricted some creative opportunity in Newark but it's still profitable.
