If the goal is maximum income, the requirement is maximum effort, investment, creativity and execution.

Did you get creative and get into any deals? 

Quote from @Heidi Christensen: What’s your favorite real-world example of creative deal structuring that actually worked?

Quote from @Jordan Malave: What’s up BiggerPockets community,I’m a brand-new real estate investor currently incarcerated, and I’m using this time to learn as much as I possibly can so I’m prepared to execute the moment I come home.I’m scheduled to be released in November 2026.

So you had to preview and prepare offers for many properties that turn out to be a waste of time.

By working with an investor agent will hopefully give you opportunities sooner - albeit I would be prepared to look at 50-100 deals before you find the "right one."

Creativity isn't restricted to aesthetics. 

I'm exploring creative financing methods for my down payment.

 @Jenny ElomaaMost turnkey providers in the Midwest focus on fully renovated, tenant-ready properties with professional property management in place, and a handful even offer creative financing options or can connect you with lenders who specialize in turnkey deals.

I’m also interested in long-term rentals and creative strategies, and I’d love to connect with local investors and agents in the Hampton Roads area.
