Creative Financing Strategies – What’s Worked for You?

[Stanley Yeldell]

Real estate deals don’t always fit neatly into a conventional loan package, especially when you’re looking to fund multiple projects or tackle unique properties. That’s where creative financing comes in.

✅ Seller Financing: How do you structure deals to keep cash flow strong while still giving the seller enough to walk away happy?
✅ Subject-To Deals: What’s your go-to method for negotiating existing financing without triggering a due-on-sale clause?
✅ HELOCs for Investment Properties: How do you leverage equity without over-leveraging yourself?
✅ JV Partnerships: How do you find partners willing to fund deals in exchange for equity, especially when cash is tight?

For those who’ve successfully used creative financing, what was the most effective strategy you’ve tried? And what pitfalls would you warn others to avoid?

I’m a PML as well, so happy to share insights on structuring private money in creative ways. Let’s brainstorm together!
