Thanks again to those of you who joined us at our free event last month: "At The Crossroads: Choosing the path to profitable investing." It was a fun, energized, educational evening, and it was terrific to meet and chat with so many of you face-to-face.

In this month's edition of ForeclosuresMass Monthly, our focus on giving you all the information you need to become a successful investor continues, as we drill down on the topic of creative financing.

That's right, creative. Because while you're no doubt familiar with how most people purchase most properties - go to a bank, apply for a loan, put down a 20% deposit, etc. - you may not realize that there are several other (legal and ethical) ways to finance a purchase, many of which may be better for you - depending on the property and your particular situation.

We begin with an article by regular ForeclosuresMass Monthly contributor George Riley, office manager at Exit Realty Center in Stoughton, and an experienced investor and consultant. George's article, "Financing of Investment Properties: Options, Pitfalls, Recommendations," cuts right to the chase in laying out four different investment strategies - none of which involve borrowing money from a bank.

In our second article, "Seller Financing - An Attractive Option to Traditional Methods," Asheesh Advani, PhD, founder and president of CircleLending, Inc., explains in simple terms what seller financing is, how it benefits the seller, how it benefits the buyer and, perhaps most importantly, what to watch out for in entering into this kind of arrangement.
