This may be the best route depending on your situation but keep in mind that institutions are tightening up on HELOCs (and LOCs in general) - Depending on your comfort level with swinging a hammer, maybe you could put some sweat equity into the construction to save on costs and get the project moving along and potentially finish it at not too much of a time lag (or buy your handyman buddies a 12-pack and/or pizza, they might be happy to help you out, true story of how I did my first rehab project)

The bottom line is that it's illegal for an unlicensed individual to accept money for "brokering" a transaction...and it is also illegal to advertise anything about a property you do not own...no images or advertisements for sale...you can, however, advertise a contract for sale.There are very few wholesalers in this city that are following those basic guidelines...so, in combination with the climate of the market, my personal prediction is that the hammer will drop soon...and these guys will be like shooting fish in a barrell.If you decide to wholesale, you can likely get by with breaking the rules without repercussion for now...but I would look to see what is happening in Oregon right now...so, it's only a matter of time.The sad part is the slime like vena jones-cox and others are charging newbies thousands of dollars on courses to promote an "illegal" activity...it's like teaching people how to speed at driving school...Best of luck
