If you’re ever curious about alternative ways to build a portfolio outside of traditional MLS deals, feel free to reach out — there’s a lot of opportunity in overlooked spaces.

The replacement costs for some properties far exceed their sales prices and in comparison to similar homes in alternative coastal locations - the price and value differential is often dramatic. 

What if you purchased with below market financing via one of the plethora of alternate financing options and did not refinance after the rehab?  

Almost, because at this level of income, a C-corp could be a more attractive alternative.

@Alex Silang,You’re on the right track considering real estate as an alternative to stocks, especially given current market valuations.

I typically reach out to the local jurisdiction and see who they have on their roster for alternative design systems, as I would rather use someone who has already gotten something passed in that jurisdiction already.

Hey everyone,I’ve been looking into alternative financing models that are structured around profit-sharing instead of interest — similar to partnership or markup-based loans.Has anyone here tried this type of interest-free or profit-based financing for a property purchase or investment?

Alternatively, to reduce your cash at closing, there are zero-point DSCR options where the rate is a little higher.

You can leave mini splits in and buy moveable units for the tenants which are cost effective and could be a good alternative until you can afford the mini split placement. 

Outside of that, I assume the alternative would be selling the property.
