Would help if you stated what questions you had so people could reply right away.I have knowledge on HELOANs but not direct experience.

You'll likely need a higher down payment if you can find anyone willing to finance something like this as a first time investor; many require some level of rehab experience at the very least.

Does anybody else have experience as of lately...? 

It worked out fine, though each time I got a little less than advertised interest rate (about 9% vs 10%) and I had to send a reminder email to to get my money back, but I did get it back.I ask about others' experience, because I'm still not 100% sure it's not a ponzi. 

I've had a positive experience.

Thank you for posting that very detailed experience.

They both have extensive experience in Duluth.Thanks for the mention @Tim Swierczek.

Hi everyone, just wondering what your experiences are on receiving 1099k form from using a property management software to receive online rent payment.

Besides immediate friends and family who know me, how do I market or introduce myself as a new agent with no experience.  

From my experience, if I had started in real estate right after school, I would have very little network and little to no funds for the RE exam, CE classes, and networking registrations.
