 * Keep With one mouse click, I found seven books about creative financing. We should not delete poorly referenced articles about obviously notable topics. Instead, we should improve them. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  18:21, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm sure the topic deserves an article, butI dont think this is it. Rathfelder (talk) 20:53, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
 * The solution is simple, then, . Edit the article to improve it instead of trying to delete it. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  05:21, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I know nothing about the topic. I'm just a humble categoriser.  Surprised at how many articles about real estate are unreferenced. Rathfelder (talk) 07:42, 1 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep and expand. There are several reasons to keep the article. First, there is a lot of interest in the topic as User: Cullen has noted via his book search. Second, the interest in creative financing is definitely going to grow in the developed world. Why? They have aging populations who are on a tight budget so that means there is going to be a lot of properties that need to be rehabbed because the elderly people couldn't take care of the properties they would have liked to. So hard money lenders offering rehab loans are only going to increase. Second, post 2007/2008 financial crisis, the banks have tightened up their lending standards so hard money lenders are increasing because they are tapping a market. There is even an American Association of Private Lenders now. Third, people can make decent return by keeping their bank anymore and many find the stock market too risky. So people with money to invest are lending money to their relatives/friends for investment properties.Knox490 (talk) 05:15, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
