Say "uh huh, ok," etc.Without a motivated seller, you can not do a creative deal.Jeff B. my advice is find an urgent situation, like - a seller pissed off with their agent, - an expired listing, or - a thin lead from WE BUY HOUSES Wholesaler (little equity), and present the benefits of doing a Lease Option or Land Contract with you.Best of luck!

Not THIS funky but still, it took a creative approach to sell.

Get creative.

When that happens, take my advice, drop back ten, take a deep breath and come at the project from a different perspective, start over with finding the right contractor for the job.Regarding the time spent doing walk-throughs with GCs....I used to think it was just a waste of time, but I soon realized that when going through a house and having a GC realize your vision, here is where you will find their creativity and perhaps a vision much better than yours.

There are 3 things here that sometimes differ: 1) Your technical, legal rights 2) What is reasonable/feasible for you and makes sense 3) Creative Solutions Oftentimes, these are very different things..

Dev Horn - going the branding route, how much are you varying your post card creative / messaging from send to send?

Look atwraps - AITDs and sub 2 w or w/out a note - DOT for acquisition.A B C D areas.Look for A and B areas for creative financing, not C and D.

I used to consider myself an expert in creative financing techniques as well as using the more conventional means of the banking industry.
