@Christian Bernhagen Hey Christian, I had the same issue as you initially when I started out househacking.

Originally posted by @Christian Alvidrez:Okay so I was going to bid at the courthouse on a property from Auction.com so I decided to do a title search before the auction date to make sure there were no liens or judgements on it, well sure enough there are two judgements on the property for a total of $5k and when I asked the title company how do I solve the issue they didn’t really have an answer for me.. so basically I’m trying to see if anyone has had a similar situation and possible solutions to the issue.

Hi Christian,Wholesaling seemed like something I wanted to do but it seemed to tedious and has a slow process then I learned about the BRRRR method and that seems better but I have no clue where to start looking and if I would want to use a hard money lender or a bank/credit union.I wouldn't write off wholesaling completely as has some advantages and can cultivate some valuable skills for beginners; finding great deals, cultivating relationships, etc.Regarding the BRRRR method, it can be a good strategy for building an investment portfolio.Generally speaking, real estate investors would use a hard money lender for the first "B" and "R", or "Buy" and "Renovate", and use a bank/credit union for the second-to-last "R", "Refinance".Hope this helps,Michael

@Loyd TomlinsonThree Sixty Home Inspectors is very thorough, many KW realtors, and myself, use him (Christian Panagiotakis) exclusively in Bradenton/Sarasota.

Kind regards, Christian 

HI @Christian Price, just make sure your numbers are air tight.  

@Christian D'Emilia you would be better off trying to use a cash out refi to pull out money for down payment and not a HELOC to @Dan Heuschele s point.
