They offer the "close in 7 days" deal, and get me a underwriters dissuasion before looking for having a property under contract which is the main reason why I choose them.I have a about 10% down, good credit score and low debit to income. 

I used mostly credit cards and borrowed money for the purchase down payment and rehab cost, and now that we're finishing up I'm doing numbers on payback and the next property.I want to keep up momentum and start the next project soon, but by my count, it will take me somewhere around 5-6 months to pay off all the debts I incurred in the process of purchasing and rehabbing the house (not including the mortgage). 

I also have some hard money lenders available to me through personal relationships and a fairly large credit card line to finance some repairs.My step between now and #1 was buying a duplex.

I went down to the base and talked to the location assistance office to see if they would pass out my cards to new members coming in or leaving and they told me i could join the wall and pointed over at a wall with flyers and business cards all over it.. there must have been like 50 different realtors pinned to the wall.. so i went down the store and bought a 25 card holder and attached it to the wall and filled it with my cards, about 2 weeks ago i was on base seeing a friend who lives on base in the base housing and decided to knock a few doors to offer assistance in maybe moving off base in the future and the MP's came after about 15 minutes of me knocking doors to let me know the base has strict policies against it... 

I have 20+ sF D, C and B propertiesI own several of these properties in my name, some in a LLC , some that I purchased with credit card debt and some that I own free and clear with no associated debt. 

There are about 10k names and I have it in my budget to send 1k post cards per month.

I'll have $25k cash and the same in credit cards available and was looking at Trenton, NJ.  

You could get an FHA loan of 3.5% down (you can put that on a credit card or line or credit).You could do a joint venture with someone who has money.

All classes feels the cards are stacked against them...some just choose to fold their hand and others choose to shuffle and re-deal.Taxes are not the cause for people staying in the middle class...having unfavorable tax treatment, or any personal or financial challenge, is the effect of people's decisions.  

So raising money via other people and using other means of leverage like bank loans and credit cards are the other thoughts that come to mind.
