I’m passionate about real estate and am working towards building my investment portfolio, with a goal of acquiring five rental properties over the next five years.I’m here to connect with like-minded individuals, learn from experienced investors, and share knowledge along the way.

Meaning they went into a standalone bank account (not mixed with your other personal funds). 

You are still going to have holding costs and a heloc will just have less holding costs that you would if you were doing a personal line or hard money.

Hi everyone,I’m excited to introduce myself and connect with experienced investors in the New Jersey market!

I am very interested to see experienced host's perspective.

Therefore, I would like to work with an experienced reliable property manager I can trust and work with.

but keep in mind CA has higher taxes and reg fees and I’m not doing more than 1-2 flips (short timeframe flips)  a year and many years do 0 flipsDo most flippers put flips into LLC Or in personal name (sole proprietor)  in CA (where you must pay $800 yearly plus accounting and other fees $300to $600+ yearly to maintain LLC) Pros for personal name-save on taxes accounting.

From what I have researched they seem legitimate but the person I am working with is flakey, takes forever to answer questions so I thought I would see if anyone else had experience with this lender.
