More and more I see buyers look online, drive out to the house, and then while sitting in front of the house, CALL. 

More of shared-risk shared-reward structure.

Can you please provide me a copy of the MHP evaluator?

Highly suggest coming out to some of the local chicago IN-PERSON meetups! 

Of the options you identified, the one that we used at the beginning was partnering - 4 people $25K a person  $100K total & then we used leverage to do Fix & Flips.  

Quote from @Jordan Brown: Hi my name is Jordan Im a future real estate investor, I want to submerge myself more in the real estate world and make connections.

I'm excited to return to the world of real estate investing, with a specific focus on short-term rentals.

My mother originally agreed for me to refi some money out of the equity of a house we co own but then she changed my mind after I signed the contract on the guesthouse.  

I never was able to coordinate a consistent quarterly meeting for planning, I never knew who to contact because they have multiple levels of their workers and people were constantly moving in and out of the organization.  

You could also explore HELOANs instead of HELOCs or consider a second mortgage option if refinancing isn’t ideal.If you need lender recommendations or help finding the best option, DM me and I’ll point you in the right direction!
