I was in your shoes not too long ago.You've reached a road sign that says "Road Closed", it's time to get creative.

The retail buyer I expect to find is likely to be getting an FHA or a conventional loan, and is very unlikely to be paying cash.My concern is that a conventional lender may have an issue with the buyer taking over a creatively structured contract in my name, so I want to structure the deal in a way that will allow me to "sell" the property to the end-buyer at the end of the term with as little complication as possible.How should I propose structuring the deal with the seller right now to make this as easy as possible to resell or assign to a conventional buyer down the road.I'll post immediately after this one with more details on the transaction, if that matters...

If I'm offering that and a competing buyer has a financing contingency, or any kind of "creative" financing I'm miles ahead.4.

Both have money already vested in the property, and they are open to creative financing.

Whats your most creative deal you have put together?

My mentor and I educate all on creative financing via YouTube.

I would like to have some creative solutions to bring to the table rather than put the onus on him (although he has done many partnerships before).For example, would it make sense for him to take a note back and a lien on the property to cover my 50% (e.g. interest-only, 7 or 8%) during the rehab, then convert to a traditional 30-year payment (with him) or re-fi my portion (with a lender)?

Do I really need an accountant...I hear they make up their fee in creative accounting....What are examples of tax deductions that I may have not thought about that I could claim...I now have repairs, mileage, postage, some office supplies?

Its just a function of the market heating up.You need to get creative on finding deals.

I know everything is negotiable, but i am trying to think of something more creative to peusade them to do a long term lease :)Thanks again for your replies, appreciate it!
