I am and was a product manager for a fortune 100 company. I hope to change that someday! :)

Start moving money into a SDIRA, then use your SDIRA to do/partner on deals.  My SDIRA has a Brokerage account attached to it. I can move money in and out of the brokerage as needed to do deals. 

Hi @Rob Mcclary, welcome to BP. Fellow NE Ohio investor. 

I am also open to a cup of Coffee or lunch. I am a new investor, but lived in NE Ohio all of my life. I will send you a connection request. 

I use my HELOC as cheap gap funding. It gives me a 10 year runway to build capital in my business. I think its a great way to get a decent amount of capital to start off.

Bigger Pockets!

Thank you so much for all of your advice. I am going to finish out these rehabs and then revamp my business model going into next year. I agree on the Wholetailing side. I have been reluctant to add that to the mix, but I definitely see the value in that. I also agree in the Marketing side, I need to increase that. With the probate cases, after I whittle things down to zip codes that makes sense, and cases that actually have properties, I am getting about 100 new leads a month. Each month I get 4-5% return calls and about 15% of the calls turn into deals. While that isn't bad, with only 100 letters a month I need to multiply that 10 fold to make a business out of it. I am going to add driving for dollars and other marketing to the mix to increase the chances of purchasing properties. 

Fedrico, 

Thanks for your response. The average rent in the area is around $1200. The roof, furnace, windows are all less than 5 years old, the AC is brand new.
