Do you have a pre-approval or proof of funds ready?

Quote from @Jason Hatfield: @Jaycee Greene  they require a non refundable deposit and give 48hrs to see proof of funds I would suggest developing a relationship with an HML/PML that would give you a "guidance line" that would basically be a "pre-approval" for situations like this to present to the buyer/auction company.

@Robert D.Sounds like you need to speak with a family law attorney about separate versus community property rules, as well as possible creation of a pre-nuptial or post-nuptial type agreement. 

Specifically, I am looking at partnering with an individual who owns securities (stock and mutual funds) having them take out a line of credit against their portfolio (SBLOC) at a low interest rate, and using that to purchase properties rather than using a mortgage.

Thanks in advanceDown payment: ~90k (25% downpayment)Rent per month: 2300 (5Bed, 4 Bath) with 2100sqftProperty management: ~150 (monthly)Outstanding loan around : ~268k (7.675% APR) 30years fixedLandlord Insurance: 1500$ (per year)HOA: 1600$ (per year)Keeping an eye on interest rates for refinance, so I can then move this property to an LLC instead.

- very low remaining mortgage balance!!

I currently have around 20k cash for a down payment and that is steadily increasing so I want to pull the trigger soon.I'm interested in Fort Wayne for a few reasons:- I have some family in the area (they won't be involved, but have some general knowledge of the area)- Decent schools- Low crime- Airport- Low pricesAny advice or connections are welcome as I am completely new to this.

However, your revenue is really low.

I have always feared debt but I'm finding myself high on equity and low on cash flow.

Either pay cash for it or get a low interest C.C.
