Start with these three key points:Current SituationAssess your current or expected capital and credit within a realistic timeframe.

Interest rates atm seem quite high so will ride this out a bit longer (and ratios will continue to improve over time.) 

When I checked it out the fund he spoke of was making unsecured working capital loans to businesses with no credit.  

Plan to make some tenant improvements to push rents closer to market rate for the area.

Get knowledge, follow experienced people, and leverage wisely.My Take:If you have two houses, excellent credit, and motivation to build wealth, you can learn to manage your money responsibly.Use HELOC, credit cards, and business credit funding to leverage your cash and buy properties faster.

This type of loan can be a great short-term solution to help you acquire and improve the property before refinancing into a long-term loan or selling it for profit.

Pick one that is improving, homes being renovated and flipped, vacant storefronts being turned into cool coffee shops etc.Good luck.

You could do the upgrades then rent out the units or sell after you made the improvements.

All of those people also get credit/background checks. 

.- After closing, you can do some of the work yourself to save money, but the program doesn't allow you to pay yourself.You will want to buy a Class B property, maybe Class C+, in an area that seems to be improving.
