Financing is part of the strategy
The same property can be a strong deal under one financing path and a weak deal under another. Compare each option by cash required, rate risk, seasoning, lender reserves, closing speed, and what it lets you do next.
For a first deal, simple and survivable usually beats clever. Use creative financing only when the terms reduce risk or unlock a deal you fully understand.
