Not every property deal fits traditional financing.I’ve worked with investors on some creative structures lately —From quick-turn fix & flips to long-term commercial holds, the key is flexibility and speed.Would love to hear how others here are funding their deals — and I’m happy to share what’s been working for my network too.Always open to real estate conversations — drop a comment if you’re open to chat.

I’ve been spending more time recently building out long-term relationships—with lenders, agents, and potential capital partners—as I work toward scaling my multifamily portfolio.One thing I’m really focused on is finding the right fit with partners, especially in a market where deals are tighter, timelines are longer, and execution actually matters.I’d love to hear from others here:🔹 How are you vetting potential partners in today’s market?

Is there a secret to finding properties that qualify under dscr as everything in my market is overly expensive 

There’s no one-size-fits-all, but a solid starting point is getting really clear on your focus, are you planning to invest, flip, manage, or help others do any of those?

It doesn’t have to be through a broker ONLY—though they can be helpful—there’s nothing wrong with also reaching out directly to a few banks or lenders just to compare and see who feels like the right fit. 

I’m thinking more intentionally now about aligning with real estate investors, ideally those who are scaling portfolios and might be looking for more consistency across management.That said, I’ve mostly worked with single-property owners so far.
