Did you use any creative financing tools like: seller financing, rent-to-own, HELOCs, subject-to deals (taking over the seller’s mortgage), Joint ventures or partnerships, or even a BRRRR strategy?

Thank u guys!

TIA My recommendation- Establish a Joint Venture that lays out each partner's contribution to the project. 

That is best done by doing a Joint Venture on the first couple of properties.

It's a fantastic way to maximize leverage and move quickly.Seller financing is another one I've had success with, especially when the seller is more focused on a steady cash flow than a lump sum.To add a few more to the list, I've also seen local investors:Use a HELOC for the down payment on a hard money loan to get to 100% LTV.Structure joint ventures (JVs) where one partner brings the cash (often from a SDIRA) and the other finds and manages the deal.Cross-collateralize other properties to secure the new purchase with less (or no) cash down.Especially with how competitive things have been around DFW, creativity on the financing side is what makes all the difference.

If it is steel vent pipes the sewer gas will rot out the threads over time and the pipe will break at the threads/joints.

With hotel U/W, it's all about RevPAR!!!

Thank u guys!

On the positive side: Since you and your wife file a joint return, her status as a Real Estate Professional applies to the return as a whole.

U must have one of these to loan money..
