If I were in your shoes, and I one point I was... first, I would listen to every podcast on here.

I was in your same shoes about 3 years ago and I wish I had known about BP then.

If I were in your shoes, I might sell and pay down any other debt I had to give me options down the road. 

I'm not yet committing full time to wholesaling for myself, so, I'd like to see if there is a market out there to sell the leads I find...Example would be I am in an area of town for work and I take a stroll through a neighborhood and find 5 houses.

If they were motivated they would have left a message.If I were in your shoes I'd go the voicemail route all the way and call the folks back when you get back from the office.  

Account Closed  I have never gone around anyone.... and with the deals I fund  its such small dollars its not worth my time and or effort.I have though been in the wholesaler shoes were I know darn well that the big 700 lbs gorilla would have been happy to see me not close on the lots I was flipping them..

I'm not sure this post constitutes jumping in feet first, but--like taking your shoes off before jumping in a lake--it seems like a prudent step that should first be taken.

Please feel free to add in some questions I must ask myself and also any advice on what you would do if you were in my shoes.  

I have never borrowed from a HML, although I will later on this year.I, too, would love to borrow as much as possible, BUT I try to put myself in the HML's shoes...If I am a HML and someone with very limited or no flipping experience asks for 100% funding, I would not do it even if it were a smoking hot deal.

That is, unless you're about to tell me that there is some compelling reason I should not.Some open questions I have, while I'm thinking about the fine points of the lease:If I were in their shoes, I'd sure as heck want a lock on my dorm room door.
