I saw it on a website a while back and I was pretty impressed with it.  

My question is, if I do want to make an offer funded with a HELOC, can I later bring in investors or even a hard money lender before the purchase?

This gives you a foundation for making a fair offer.Secure Financing: Be prepared to show you’re a serious buyer with funding lined up, whether through cash, traditional financing, or a creative option like seller financing.Have a Strategy for Repairs or Development: If the property is distressed, outline how you’ll handle improvements to bring it back to productive use.

You can certainly find a property for cash flow that may also bring you a strong return on that investment.

You can obviously bring them to small claims court for the amount of the deductible.

No, everyone else keeps bringing up "transferring of debt".

Visit FinCEN’s website for filing details.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Quote from @Monish Anand: Start by looking for personal recommendations from investors in that market, then look on realtor.com or a google search.DO NOT use agents suggested by a website like realtor, Zillow, etc.

Hoping to add a mountain cabin (both for investment and to bring our three young daughters to when we can).

Even then, I’m bringing in $81,000 a month.
