Hi Mike,First, I want to emphasize that my intention was never to provide misleading information.

However I’m not ignorant to the fact that there is a lot out there just collecting money and not providing much. 

@Vina Merrill,I don't have much intel on Knoxville, but I’m active as an investor, turnkey provider, and builder in Chattanooga.

> Many, basically get taken advantage of by those in the industry that have an incentive to keep newbies blind to new realties, just to keep their good times rolling.If someone poses an inquiry on this forum, I provide my honest opinion (which it typically that the investment is unlikely to provide a return that justifies the effort & risk).  

Hello Everyone,Does anyone know of a lender who can provide a 1st lien HELOC on a 2 unit rental property?

If it is a credit/equity line, you could provide a lender letter that the funds are available immediately for funding - and cured any recission period. 

Great use of space and provides additional income to offset the monthly payment.Orlando, and many other cities, have a "missing middle" problem in regards to housing. 

I am constantly reaching out to provide value to other wholesalers out there and in turn others see my company name. 

An other advantage of paying with credit card may be that you will not have to send the provider a 1098 tax form (only an issue if the total yearly amount is over $800). 

Both @Nathan Gesner and @Lauren Stark have provided valuable insights on this.One potential path for you is to join an established team to gain experience.
