So I'm looking to finance my first deal,and I'm looking at investing with a family member through their financing. Since I'm a student I have low taxes,so I want to pass the tax benefits on to them, while retaning...

Does anyone have creative ideas on how to avoid this maintenance problem... or do you think it gets you more rent with one? 

I bought the house directly from an estate off market so I physically own it now, so some of the creative financing is off the table, although I suppose I could seller finance for a while ;) .

local REI group (in Chicago we have the Chicago Creative Investors Association) c.

I haven't figured out how to find the time, or dig for the creativity, to make that leap

@Shaun Reilly I like it very creative in light of the business goal !.

He said in NYS the capital gains tax on the purchase price is do at transfer for non residents... gotta love NY lol..with that said does anyone have any creative ways to make this deal happen that could lower or avoid the state Cap Gains?

- Are you a creative thinker or more quantitative?

But to give them credit, I think their posts would be more creative and comprehensive.Don't circumvent an owner occupant clause.

There is low inventory in this area as well, which helps houses sell quickly.So in my quest to find creative financing options for my first flip, I considered contacting the owners about selling me the house with them financing the deal.
