And they'd have great potential - if they were someplace else.The potential that you want to train yourself to look at is not the aesthetic or creative potential but the financial potential based on well researched and verifiable assumptions.

@Ned Carey Excellent feedback, I am looking to try some creative investing strategies to flip houses.

Maybe you could donate the building and let them haul it away for free to their land or donate the building to charity or let someone use it for business or farming if they take care of the lead issue.Lot's of bartering or creative thinking might fix this issue.

There are many benefits to this but it has to be incorporated at the right time.

Account Closed - wow...talk about creative (simple but easy) Love it :) @Brandon Turner - actually found this site because of your killer videos on youtube.

I will have to look at creative ways to make deals in the beginning but I plan to reinvest initial profits to grow my REI business.

I have always been interested in real estate and investing projects but I have always felt it was something out of my reach but I now realize I can invest in many ways, all it takes is to be a little creative.

The past attorney here who had represented the board before I came along and used him as my attorney, to say they are all locked into tunnel vision is uniformed, we did some very creative transactions, however, giving credit to Ann, if you're some guru following, whiz bang, wheeler dealer that is void of RE knowledge and unaware as to local practice, you might want an attorney out of law school. ;)Now I see the motivation of "defending" your suggested attorney.Just saying Ann, your response could have been phrased a little differently to say what you thought without it making it sound I was full of it.

Start focusing on creative no-money/low-money down payment buy and hold techniques vs conventional financing and use your cash to kill the personal debt.

Additionally, when borrowing funds through an LLC it seems like the banks make the process a lot more difficult and scrutinizes everything from articles of incorporations, to leases agreements, tax returns, k1’s etc.
