I’ve seen some investors get creative lately — curious to hear what others are doing to close deals faster.

Or K1-12 schools, very much socialism.

I’m licensed in over 25 states and have spent the last few months studying multifamily and creative finance strategies with the goal of building a portfolio that generates long-term cash flow and stability.I’m extremely motivated to start closing deals now — ideally multifamily or self-storage, though I’m also open to triple net opportunities down the line.

I’ve been in real estate for several years (wholesaling + acquisitions) and recently started studying the GP side of multifamily syndication.I’m comfortable underwriting, deal sourcing, and creative structuring — but I’m brand-new to the GP/operator side, and I want to make sure I move correctly.I’m currently reviewing small multifamily opportunities (10–20 units), and before I go any further, I want to get clarity from people who have actually operated deals.Here are my questions:For someone stepping into their first GP/co-GP role, what are the most important skills or responsibilities to master early?

Please provide any creative resources I may not have thought of.

So, owners mistakenly think price is the only differentiator – and look for a PMC like they’d shop for groceries☹We encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others by reading posts here on BiggerPockets from owners that picked a PMC solely by price and regretted it.We recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Even if someone gives you a referral, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that just because a PMC met their expectations, they’ll meet your expectations.

If anyone has any advice on creative financing, I’d appreciate it.

I work with investors across the Midwest and have seen a lot of creative structures that mix nonprofit goals with LLC ownership to make deals work financially while serving the community.

Quick question, would you rent to those on social security income and what kind of proof of income would be acceptable?
