@Brandon O. smells fishy to me. Paying money for credit is typically not a wise thing. If you have a deal, get hard money (money is based on the property not your credit). If you don't have a deal, you don't need the money so work on improving your own credit (pay bills on time, etc). Use your extra money (money you would be paying for renting someone else's credit) to do your own marketing for deals.
It takes time to build good credit and the system is setup to be that way. It is also set up to prevent folks from taking short cuts. I'm sure there are some smart people out there that can figure ways around the system. Sounds like they are selling something, so buyer beware.
