I couldn't blame the Buyers, we weren't buying either, but these were fat deals with conservative ARV's and realistic rehab numbers we would have all been foaming at the mouth for just 6 months prior.

Start with reading books by Gene Trowbridge "it's a whole new business" and listening to "Syndication" podcast by Whitney Sewell. 

Plus, I'm inexperienced and flipping sounds a) scary and b) not my long-term goal. g) Property locally is $$$, so I hope to buy turnkey out of state once I save up more cash...Here's my question:...Meanwhile, I've got this fat HELOC.

@Luke Dilorenzo If you haven't already, I would have a good roofer out there (one who specializes in fat roofs), get their opinion and go from there.

I didn’t know that a real estate agent will do a lot of illegal things to get that fat commission check smh I’ll never forget this situation it’s like putting your hand on a stove I got burned but it won’t happen again

I for example could not really care less if you make $2K or $20K as long as the deal I AM GETTING is fat enough in the end.

For example, mine says 2 year lease only in big fat letters.

@Gene Guarino  - I think that when I saw a short presentation from Gene he did mention you could purchase the property and run the facility yourself, meaning you get the licensing.  

I think most people will say a big fat hell no to that.
