Maybe talk with some realtors who have people who cannot get a loan because they are self employed, but have plenty of down payment.

I do see lots of self storage and warehouses going up, so my default assumption would be that the old shopping malls do NOT trade for less than build cost, but it's possible that the marketplace is not perfectly efficient. 

Hi @Chris Garnes,I am an investor who has self-funded rehabs and also a licensed mortgage broker.

A HELOC is a great way for you to self-fund the improvements.

All self praise shared by Neal Bawa before was just that advertisement.

Even if such a loan existed (which I doubt), once Vincent self funds all improvement costs, finance charges, carrying costs etc., I doubt he's any better off.

.- Background: Took some real estate classes before but really a lot of self learning on creative financing - Current Goal:To close my first wholesale deal within the next few months by learning from seasoned investors and applying proven strategies.I'm here to absorb as much knowledge as possible, so if you have any tips or resources, I’m all ears!

In the self storage market, they have ratios based on population to determine demand.

Or maybe you finally want to purchase a multi-family complex / self-storage facility / car wash, etc.

We own over 100 units in San Diego and have always self-managed.
