(Many times they forget they started out the same way)The secret to impressing them is to stand out to them in some way.  

The secret to all investing is to figure out what your goals are and what they look like not what someone else says they should be.

If they want to get secretive and play games then you do not go under contract with them end of comment.It's understandable that a buyer wants to leverage to put less down.

As banks and Wall Street have long since discovered-- owner occupied first mortgages with a decent down, and screened, credit worthy buyers are fairly low risk..Tips: use a title company, traditional documents (with your designed note terms), and screen your buyers (it was admittedly easy for me as they had been pre-qualified by a bank but liked my low fee, low transx costs financing better).

Turning and burning the $99 a month parcels isn't for me, as I have discovered through trial and error. 

If you think you will go FHA, Conventional, 203k, etc. and then Quit Claim the property, to a LLC, or a Land Trust you run the risk of the lender discovering a Title Transfer occurred and activating the "Acceleration Clause" or "Due on Sale Clause" that requires the loan to be paid in full, within 'x' number of days.

My discover card is currently giving me 5% cash back at home improvement stores, i believe it is until September.

It's called "Delayed Financing," and any traditional bank or credit union that loans to investors should be able to give you some details- it's a Fannie Mae program, so it's not a secret, but I don't think lenders do a lot of them.

Warren Buffett wrote a book called Secret Millionaires Club.
