If you're focusing on rural properties, sometimes local community banks or credit unions are open to these types of deals.

You can work with a local credit union that does HELOCs, Home Equity Lines of Credit or Loans, on investment property.

Overall, it looks like a good deal, something you could probably even take to a local bank or credit union for financing.

I would recommend looking into local real estate meet-ups and networking with investors to get yourself on wholesalers email lists when they send out their deals.Hope this helps!

Older homes in neighborhoods like Heights and Montrose are full of charm, character, and history, but may need some renovations.When navigating the market, it's important to partner with a local real estate agent, take into account rental market demand and rates, search for value-add chances, and learn about landlord-tenant laws.

But perhaps you would be better served helping a local experienced investor find deals and ask them to show you exactly how they analyze deals, what's good vs bad, how do they finance (debt vs equity) etc etc and understand their business model that has a proven track record by providing value to them.

I second what John said, but if you are severely design impaired like myself, maybe ask around some local hosts / host groups. 

There are some programs through local government systems where you may be able to receive a tax abatement or grant here in Michigan in an effort to help beautify a neighborhood.

This community’s shared insights and local expertise have already been invaluable!

Hello Sheree, A good place to learn about wholesaling will be going to the local REIA.
