I almost fell for this myself back in 2011 when capital was near impossible to get because of the GFC I had what I think was a semi complicated bizz plan and they were just too quick to approve and did not really ask the probing questions just hammered for the 10k because I was pre approved LOL.what we see now I believe is not as much desperate or maybe equal desperate and those that simply dont know what they dont know and with the internet the way it is.. its the only shopping they do is on line its what they are used to. 

Can you rent a place out close by and run your house as an STR, since you have it set up, furniture and internet/utilities in place?  

. • Lower utility and internet costs: Run laundry/dishwasher during off-peak hours and consider switching to cheaper cell plans or even dropping data plans if you mostly use Wi-Fi. • Cancel or share streaming services: Sounds small, but even saving $30–50/month adds up fast when you’re hustling to build a runway.

And new ones being built early.https://usafacts.org/articles/how-many-vacant-homes-are-ther...The real issue, is people can't afford them.Taxes are too high, insurance is too high, people haven't saved money to qualify for the loan, etcPeople want their 60" TV and their 180 channels of programming and their fast internet, and on and on.

My humble advice to anyone attempting to do creative finance is:Creative finance is for experienced investors who have access to capital if anything goes wrong.Learn the lawsDon't use a contract "off the internet", laws vary by state and are also regulated on a federal levelLearn the financing techniques correctlyDon’t skip parts of the processDon’t ever do a “kitchen table” closingUse the proper deedAn attorney can help you with the legal work, but the rest you are on your ownYour guru will not bail you out“Investing” in someone else’s deal by providing a small 2nd loan so the “investor” can pay for “cash to the seller” and for “closing costs” so he can do the deal is a very bad planKnow what problems can ariseLearn the responses and solutions to problems before they are neededKnow everything there is to know about Title and what that meansKnow who a "protected class" individual isLearn the "back doors"Learn human natureUnderstand timelinesUnderstand regulation enforcement (some of these "mistakes" have a 10 year statue of limitations ( they can charge you 10 years AFTER you do the transaction) and carry hefty fines and possible imprisonmentThe court doesn't accept "I didn't know" for an answer"Know that the source of the lead plays a serious role in some states and federallyKnow how much of a "profit" pushes the boundaries to invite an investigationYou can be sued by the seller if you don’t do things correctlyYou are automatically at fault if an investigator or attorney or regulator gets involved.

Listing it as a long term rental with freebies (2 weeks off, internet and lawncare included etc), has not received applications, even though it was the lowest price per sq foot for the area by a large margin (to signal a motivated landlord)2.

When I first started house hacking, I had to pay a portion of the mortgage but as time went on & I added a few amenities like backyard eating area with patio furniture (inexpensive from FB market place $30 bucks), hi speed internet, etc...

All of those pieces of information are available on the internet and in books.

The internet books  Morby the sub 2 guys the market for this is quite thin.
