Between friends, secondary lending markets, and eager investors, there are always funding sources beyond traditional banks.I still consider myself a “newbie,” even after years in real estate.

We even skipped a traditional wedding and used that money toward our next property.

Creative strategies gain relevance when traditional purchase demand is shaky.  

There’s always a strategy — even if it’s not traditional.

If you're just trying to do a traditional buy&hold or fix&flip, you absolutely do not need a mentor to do that.

Quote from @Matheus Souza: Hey everyone so I am a brand new real estate investor just starting out looking to invest in long-term rentals and I need some insight, so I am recently self-employed for about seven months and I know I can't get a traditional loan due to me not having two years of self-employed tax return therefore I came across DSCR loan and Bank statement loans what are your guys's thoughts on those?

**Learn About Financing Options:** Explore different ways to finance your investment, such as traditional mortgages, FHA loans, or working with private lenders.

But I want to start with even amortization throughout rather than a traditional mortgage structure where you are paying mainly interest in the beginning that flips over time.

Companies familiar with LLCs, hard money, and short timelines are much easier to work with than ones used only to traditional home sales.Finding a reliable title company now saves stress and helps as you scale.

The fact that it will be used as a sober living facility will turn off a majority of traditional DSCR and Fix and Flip Lenders.
