Using whole life insurance was a big unlock for me; pairing it with the right turn key provider in the right location adds a nice passive layer--interested in other creative ways to build faster 

Sometimes pairing with a private lender or even offering better collateral keeps the deal alive.

Hi @Sharlene Morales, One option is private money or hard money lenders, they can close quickly, sometimes within days.

And which investing strategies pair best with creative financing  buy and hold, BRRRR, flips, or wholesaling?

We have a pair a duplexes and a few SFR.

Over time, as you document more deals with solid numbers and good financial organization, you’ll find that doors open more easily with both private and hard money lenders.Keeping clean, well organized books for each property goes a long way toward building that credibility.

Use a HELOC or business LOC as your swing account to front earnest money, draws, and quick closings, then sweep sale proceeds to zero it so utilization stays low and your next refi underwrites clean.

At the same time, put $500 or $1000 of your own money every month to get to a $15k or $20k down payment on the next deal.Find someone who will owner finance.Get a sub-to dealFind someone having some payment issues and do a wrap around mortgage with them. 

Some go the hard money route, others partner up, and some use creative financing.Curious — what funding strategies worked for you when you started?

MyRental by CoreLogic is another reputable platform.That said, the real gold is in pairing the credit/background check with income verification from the source—not just a paystub or PDF.
