Never let the Realtor be a barrier.

I'm particularly interested in what tactics people have implemented for sourcing quality deals (not the I need 100% financing bs)Would you:1.

I’ve never sold a note so going to ask some information from the experts.

Just search and try to find ones that understand sourcing investment properties. 

Simple answer - yes you can alter your funding source after putting it under agreement if you chose to use a hard money lender instead - i would just communicate with seller that hey I was going to use cash (assuming you have it from your heloc) and instead will finance some of it but let them know its not contingent on financing.

Right now, I’m in the process of sourcing land for our first project.Happy to connect and share insights.Wishing you a great holiday as well!

I started a nonprofit to assist in ending homelessness in America.

I've had properties in pretty rough neighborhoods and i've never had this issue.

Perhaps if your partner was a general contractor or handyman type there may be some merit there to reduce costs / increase profitability.If your partner enjoys deal sourcing, a better move might be for him to become an agent - so he could legally collect commissions from finding deals and managing properties for multiple people. 

Hi Shayan, You will be able to close on properties quickly and have access to rehab funds immediately if you are able to qualify for a HELOC that can cover both the purchase and rehab.You should be careful though as if you cannot sell the property or you run out of rehab funding, you may end up being over leveraged.
