Any guidance or insights you can provide would be greatly appreciated.Thank you for your time and consideration.

Looking for guidance before I submit a claim.

I, like many used to think “newbies” posted questions or asked for “help” to obtain the best advice from experienced investors, obtain guidance on strategic alternatives, or get a qualified opinion on whether the latest hot guru was worth the $40k price of admission.But, I was WRONG.No, none of those reasons are why newbies come to BP.They don’t want to find out that their “revelation” about how to invest has been tried about 10 million times - with limited successThey don’t want to learn that without capital, knowledge and experience their willingness to commit weekends is near uselessThey don’t want our opinion that they should skip trying to wholesale and spend some time learning as a licensed agentThey don’t want advice that has them taking classes at community colleges or learning real estate law, finance, or principles.So WHAT do they seek when they come to BPThey want comfort, encouragement. and to be told their thoughts are correct.

We typically use Bigger Pockets as a helpful forum/dictionary and listen to Brent Daniels, FlipMan and Max MAxwell for guidance.

My question is what is my best option to get equity out of the property to do the rehab and do you have any lenders you would recommend.Thanks for your valuable time.Regards,James AustinHouston, TX

You have provided very valuable resources that many of us will be able to use.

If you are great at Calc or some subject in school and a rando freshman sent a message to school asking for free tutors to snap them so they could receive free guidance would you think lots of people would reach out?

That'll give a little more comfort and guidance.

now for the STR space this seems like a very good business that many would get a lot of valuable intel from. 

I appreciate your guidance!
