I found a few great sources in my network that I pay a straight 10% to and they love it. 

Looking to jump straight into flips and buy and holds.

Traditional financing should be pretty straight forward.

I want to use the financing strategies I learn above, coupled with that $ to either do straight flips, OR do some BRRR.My first question is, HOW do I get access to that $, and use it without getting murdered by the feds in fees, taxes and limitations...?

I thought it would be more straight forward having less tenants to serve. 

While direct mail works, I get about 5 mailers each month on all of my properties and they typically go straight to the trash.

I would just be completely straight up and honest.

Even I could see that lines weren't straight, dry wall was not done correctly and the electrical didn't look right.When we questioned the Gc about this he always had a different story - *he had drilled through the PG&E cable at his own house so couldn't be at our house that week as he had to tend to his own house.* he had fallen getting out of a cab and he couldn't walk for the next few days* he had spent all the money we'd already paid him on fixing up his own house and couldn't pay his subs that weekSo many red flags and warning signs along the way.

All this information and databases are free and like I always say, the best inventory is straight from the source. :)

It was a straight up refi.
