-secured card is a smart start.

If you can purchase this home with private money or seller financing and get a $110k loan, then you could do a rate/term refi right after so do a 90 or 120 day note to secure the property and get it in your name, then refi into long term debt using the full appraised value. 

This also helped us in an unattended way when investing with my Solo 401k because banks treated the funds as liquid when invested in a public traded exchange versus in their fund and helped with securing better commercial financing on a deal because of the strength of our application in liquid assets.

Key point is WITH a SECURED border to stop the flood of 100k-300k monthly illegls. 

Quote from @Jordan Kaylor: I'm new to real estate investing and have secured a HELOC on my existing home.  

I've collected thousands in security deposit from my guests who've caused damage.

Hello fellow investor,Thank you for your interest in learning more about our company and how we secure funding for our clients.

Will you act as KP in my deals, offering your balance sheet and liquidity to help me secure a deal?

When rates re-trace and other folks start trying to deploy the capital, I want to know I secured the (right) asset.

You will receive the security deposit in Checking but then transfer it to Savings.Savings: Hold the deposit here so it's separate from operating funds.
