I have absolutely no funds myself.

I'm contacting the community to brainstorm a solution to a funding need we're all facing.

Or you could wire all the funds to there escrow acct, bid and pay if you win, then request the remainder of funds to be refunded. 

Used your HELOC to fund the down payment on a second property if the right opportunity presents, otherwise those returns wouldn’t be juicy enough for me to take on more debt for the sake of scaling if you’re buying at retail. 

I have 3 accounts per property which helps me leverage APY on savings accounts, prevent funds from being comingled, and easily set up auto payments for things like mortgage payments and utilities. 

The SEC claims Fossum misappropriated hundreds of thousands of dollars from the funds by living rent-free in a fund-owned home and having the funds pay for extensive international travel and his federal taxes.

I would like to fund a fix and flip deal with a first lien position in Florida. 

We have the drive to achieve whatever we put our mind to, the skills to create a very unique and desirable space, and the finances to back up our investment.
