@Bob StevensHad an off market triplex for 560k minimal work needed hit my inbox last week.

Online courses are just a pitch for the course that costs way more money.

See if the Seller will finance with a minimal downpayment.2.

For the past 3 years, I've paid my property manager in Costa Rica via paypal, a minimal cost for me and he gets his money next day.   

If you're looking at Ohio, I'd imagine you're looking at Cleveland, or at the very least, being pitched at looking at Cleveland by a ton of Realtors and Marketers and such.

Likewise, I’d need to work out how prospects would tour properties safely, legally, and at minimal expense.

This is a golden illustration of the Guru sales pitches.  

So minimal impact to credit during the rehab process.It appraised for $173k after rehab, refinanced and paid everyone off including the seller, and walked with cash to do my next deal :)

Borrowing cash from another source does create a lot of risk so make sure to stick to your numbers and make the deal happen where you minimize that risk.Another option perhaps not mentioned is a wrap-style deal subject to or seller financing.
