If you're interested, I can provide some free help.

Tell everyone you know you want to get into it and that you will work for free.

Be sure to explore all around the forums as well as many of the FREE tools that Bigger Pockets provides.I am on the lending side of things and am always happy to hop on a call to discuss loan options that are out there, even if not offered by my resources. 

I’m always looking to expand my network with like-minded individuals on here, so feel free to reach out.

I know there is surety bond process and there a a few companies that appear to offer a service (Like Rhino)Furnished Finder has a new feature called Worry Free Waivers but when I tried  to better understand their process, it was clear they have not done a good job of vetting this out. 

Self-Directed IRAs (SDIRA) or Solo 401(k)s allow tax-deferred or tax-free real estate investing, though they come with IRS restrictions.

I promise you will have options once you finish renovating.If you purchased correctly (location & purchase price), you will have enough equity so that you can either sell it for tax free capital gains, cash out refinance (if mortgage rates are lower), or pull a HELOC to acquire your next property!

Great questions - a lot of our borrowers will tap the equity using a refinance in order to purchase their next investment property.Feel free to give me a shout anytime, happy to help!

I am on the lending side of things so feel free to reach out if you ever want to talk shop and finance options that are out there. 

You have to pay fees, but you'll have a professional handling issues instead of bleeding money trying to figure it out for yourself, then you have your time free to pursue other things.
