I am in search for the best way to gain knowledge in creative financing/ deal engineering so I have a solution for all of the homeowners that I deal with.

And when you farm a neighborhood, you'll have multiple solutions for any situation, quickly making you the go-to guy.Just keep in mind that you'll have more tools in the toolbox, and also more responsibilities.

I would go to seller, especially if you have good documentation of disclosures in your favor, and ask them to pay for a solution. 

Or talk to some lenders about your credit idea..i recall another forum on this same topic with some Creative solutions you might search (I think it was a triplex needing a roof) Best of luck...

It's a little-known solution, and there might be significantly more upside for you there. 

Could be dogs too.Normally my solution would be to put up a fence all the way around the back, but this is a lake so this will block the view.My backyard extends to a seawall, then from the seawall slopes a few feet down to a platform where a kayak, paddle boat etc... can be launched. 

I'm aware of two common solutions to avoid that...The first is to create a single-asset LLC for/to hold title to each investment property.  

I tidied up the yard, trimmed the trees, power washed the driveway, etc.

Im Really Just a Solution Engineer Disguising as a Real Estate Investor

And thanks everyone else, I think this is just one of those things that there is no simple or easy solution to.
