Aside from that, think of creative financing as another tool in your tool belt to get a deal done.

Once you have some knowledge under your belt, you can start making the decision yourself if you have the time and/or money you need - oh, and especially the drive. 

You could expense the plow blade, lawn mower or snow blower if it was used exclusively.

@Pedro TorresI'd like to point out the glaring flaw in your proposed buy-and-hold business model that seems to have gone unremarked on so far in this thread, although it's been discussed many times on this website:Long-distance landlording in a Rust Belt slum ain't easy.This place is in MorningSide, Detroit.

Would be a good notch on the experience belt as well.

Yes, I'm Indiana biased too.I would suggest focusing on getting a "safe" deal under your belt and then going after better deals.

I usually have a machete hanging on my belt and put an eye patch over my left eye when I go see or show a property.When I introduce myself I say "hi I am Sam but my friends call me the governor".Zero problem.

Some progress is good. 18 mill on a total project view change of the whole belt line is very tiny but a start.

The blower fan motor (and/or the capacitor that starts the fan spinning) malfunctions.
