Choosing the right lender for a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) can make a huge difference depending on your goals.

Hello @Shunnel Williams,Sorry to hear of the challenges on your first deal.

Hey Bigger Pockets, I’ve decided to get out of my analysis paralysis and actually jump into real estate investing- focusing initially on wholesaling.

If you already use him, make sure you avoid talking to him on the phone (his favorite way to get you to forget everything) and get EVERYTHING IN WRITING!

Don't get too focused on letting the MLS be your deciding factor on a good investment.That would be where I would start and then from there move to connect with a team on the ground.

If the figure of $1200 is being floated on the listing it’s highly possible the current owner is locked in and grandfathered at this price and even if you get a policy with the same insurance company your policy will be significantly more expensive.

But after that I got my license, started working with a seller's agent later, and already got a good grasp of the things I should and shouldn't talk about.I created a questionnaire for buyer's agent and the property management company, which kept me on track with talking points.

Let me know if you need any help on the construction side of things.

@Alec McGinn research the rental market history.How many units typically on the market?

I'm interested in hearing experiences on what companies or custodians work best, what pitfalls to watch out for, and any red flags during the process.
