If your goal is to get the info asap for small multis, I would go with something where it's already skip traced so you can direct market or call for that investor's preference.

That said, I prefer to use a HELOC for short term investments like fix & flips because I only pay for what I use and I can continually keep recycling the money.

This seems more of a preference item on reporting, but I wanted to get more insight on how these transactions are structured. 

I'd like to connect with someone who knows the local market as this is where I would prefer the property to be at since it is close to me.

In my experience, banks aren't generally interested in financing the acquisition/rehab of a residential investment properties, but rather they prefer to refinance your HML once the property is stabilized.

(Again, I know it's preference and variables but generally and in your personal opinion with your experience).TThank you in advance for your input here. 

People who have money may prefer to seller finance but if someone is retiring they most likely don’t care about a higher sales price they want to avoid the riskYou mention ou have a 100% close rate - then why not just buy it was traditional financing if you really want the deal?

This will help direct your search to the right areas, property types and price point.If you're purchasing all-cash, skip that step.Depending on your goal and preferred timeline for closing, the majority of your time should be spent searching for and analyzing deals.Searching: Look at public listing sites; connect with an investor friendly agent and choose 1 to work with who can search MLS and off-market inventory; for additional off-market options, consider growing your own database of wholesalers and homeowners Analyzing: Your agent can send comps and you can also search public listing sites for sold homes.

But for straightforward setups, you can actually form an LLC directly on the PA Department of State website yourself, and it’s very cost-effective.For larger portfolios or more complex structures, some investors prefer going through a real estate attorney to ensure their LLC is set up to maximize tax benefits and liability protection.
