Focus on getting your finances in order, setting achievable goals, and finding a mentor or local real estate groups to guide you.

doing a bad deal just to have done a deal will set your finances and your relationship back.

One of the reasons I did not get my realtor license was because I felt that I had been in business longer than most brokers and I have been known to do creative financing on some properties.

I would love to hear from other more experienced in the field about alternative ways to financing that I should consider besides the HELOC, maybe also hear from investors on how the process of bringing investors onboard works.

I try to pay off all loans as fast as possible because I feel like money wasted on interest is overlooked sometimes as people only focus on the amount of money coming in rather than the amount saved.As of today, I'm just focusing on establishing the best systems to analyze the markets, find properties, get financing, make wise renovations, and manage my rental properties.

Or maybe have them finance the $35k as well and just start sending me checks for $10k/mo right away?

I love talking personal finance and real estate investing so I would be happy to help.

Even though the budget of the project will be about 4 times of where I was looking to start with a fix and flip, MF financing looks very encouraging and a silver lining.

With the help of an investor-friendly agent How did you finance this deal?

Quote from @Brian Hill: Do anyone have a recommendation for a San Antonio Real Estate Attorney that deals with creative financing and title work?
