Structuring Financing for Volume-Based InvestingTraditional financing methods like hard money loans work well for single properties but can be less efficient when you're scaling up.

Non paying tenants(as a newbie I did no screening), dead tenants, Silly fines from the city for nothing, attempted robberies where I ended up with the cops pulled guns on me. 30 recently released convicts as neighbors for a while, a jacked up 7' tall transvestite call girl/drug dealer was my least favorite neighbor.

I think a heloc is a solid method to fund a flip.

Cash for keys is definitely the best way to get people out in the day when I was very active at court houses steps cash for keys was by far the best way to get folks to move and bad tenants in a state with bad eviction laws to me would be the preferred method. you simply pay them when they are leaving the house not before.. that works fine and you give them more than 1k .. you make it worth their while..

Have you done any research on what method of investing you would like to do?

My favorite way to find a mentor was to look on Zillow for houses for rent in your area and then click on the ones that are 'for rent by owner' then call them and introduce yourself as an investor in the area who is looking to meet new investors. 

Other methods will differ.Yes, I agree with that example.

@Steven NguyenThe BRRR method is a solid strategy, but careful planning is key.
