* Bird-Dogging - “Bird dogs” get paid a referral fee for finding good deals for other investors.
* Hard money lenders - These are often used to finance projects that are unconventional, great deals, or where money is needed quickly. Typically hard money lenders will lend 50-70% of the value of the property regardless of the sales price (unlike banks).
* Land trust - Land Trusts have traditionally been used as a non-profit entity to own property.
* Lease option - This is made up of two parts: A lease, or rental agreement, and an option. They may be written together as one contract or as two.
* Options - An option is defined as the right to buy a property for a specified price (strike price) during a specified period of time.
* Paper/notes/mortgage investing - This also is less of a “creative real estate investing” technique as typically described.
* Sandwich lease - A sandwich lease is a lease created by a tenant wishing to exit his/her unit as a tenant while not having a “exit option” written into their lease by the landlord.
* Seller finance or “subject to” - The seller can act as a bank and rather than receiving all or a portion of their equity at close, they can “lend” it to the buyer and receive a regular payment as agreed.
* Short sale or pre-foreclosure - When a property owner fails to make their mortgage payments for a number of months they are in default.
