Sounds like a good opportunity
I've been talking to a property owner. He has a two unit house that he is willing to hold the mortgage on for 6 months. The house is owned free and clear. He is also open to creative financing. I have no money to put down and the house needs some rehab. Can anyone suggest how I can make this deal and generate enough money to fix up the house?

Well, if he will give you long term financing with nothing down, you can use that to buy the property.
As far as rehab funds:
- credit cards
- borrow from friends and family
- get a credit card at Home Depot, Lowes, etc.
- borrow from a 401k
- borrow against other property you own
- sell something
What's your plan? Fix and flip? Rental? Getting into either of these businesses with no cash is a bad idea. You really need some cash to be buying real estate.
