Hey, guys Just want to get some information on wholesaling and what might be some things that would be good to start out with. business cards, bandit signs, postcards, etc... looking forward to hearing from you guys...

In my mind, there's a difference between a collection account for medical bills and one for a credit card or a cable bill. 

Ask what they pay for as far as a website, or business cards, etc.

As far as proof of funds, do you have a high credit card limit?  

I bought the house under my name, since I made enough and paid down a chunk of my credit cards and raised my score to mid 700s.

I would have spent less time on Marketing, biz cards etc. spent more time on GETTING GOOD AT FINDING DEALS

None of your money, credit cards etc. 

An EB-5 Visa will allow me to obtain a green card and permanent residency.

If your approach is something I had not considered and end up pursuing, I'll hook you up with a $50 Amazon gift card as my thank you. 

Private lender is as  @Rick Pozos  pointed out some one you meet at a gathering has no business card is a local professional with usually a few hundred grand in their IRA  and for those folks most states have a small carve out to do a few private loans legally..
