When the split happened, I bought her out of the property, without use of a lawyer, but both of us agree and understand that the money and ownership of the property is effectively 100% mine.

I hope you know, you could have bought an enormous amount of penalties, default interest, legal fees, and accounting fees from the first lien holder—not to mention a pending foreclosure.

I have had good luck finding cool unique pieces in local stores to the property.

Quote from @Kenneth Crawford: I recently inherited a Dollar General store from my parents.

I’m looking at funding options.

I bought my first deal back in 2018 and it went quite well. 

Are there any alternative loan options or creative strategies to use or seen others use after they hit the conventional loan limit?

I've heard of cases where the lawsuit was filed and another buyer contacted the person who filed the lis pendens and they were able to get their interest bought out. 

This will be my first deal, so I’m trying to set myself up for a strong start.I had a good conversation with my lender, and they laid out a few creative financing options to consider: A DCRC loanA HELOC (home equity line of credit)A conventional loan I wanted to reach out to the group and get some input.

do you purchase these online or at a store
