How Do You Pursue Creative Finance?

[Brandon G.]

For those of you who don't mind sharing, I am curious how you go about finding and applying creative finance deals. For example, when you are marketing, do you do so with a particular strategy in mind or do you just have an arsenal of strategies in your tool box?

If you have multiple, how do you go about presenting each option to the seller? Do you present them with a list of options which you'd like to see happen or do you go down the list and as they shoot one down you present another?

I have no doubt that conversations leading up to the point dictate how you go about solving their problem, but it would be interesting to hear how those ideas are presented in a practical sense.
