I'm in a team who does these deals and we have a team of "door knockers" who go back weekly till the auction, they file bankruptcy which only delays 3+/- months 100% chance that the lender will as that their mortgage is removed from the bankruptcy they file NOD yet again.   

One of the biggest factors in successful flips is building a strong team: contractors, agents, lenders, and property managers. 

@Tobi Isaacs, I'm a licensed mortgage lender. 

Through this journey, I’ve built strong relationships and developed valuable expertise in:Researching micromarkets and identifying comparables, potencial Accurately estimating construction or remodeling costs.Securing fast and reliable financing through partnerships with two top hard money lenders in Texas, offering competitive rates.I’m on this platform to connect with capital partners who are seeking an annual ROI of 12%-15%.

Wondering also if there are lenders that would have an appetite for this type of property?

I talked to my lender contact and, as Kerry mentioned above, it's pretty uncommon that a traditional lender would offer a HELOC product on an investment property (non-primary home). 

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?

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Talk to a mortgage broker or lender experienced with LLC-owned properties before transferring ownership.
