Of course I will be using all the tools at my disposal via BiggerPockets but I'm always thinking that there's something else that maybe I should know.

The fact that they are in probate DOES NOT mean they are pre-disposed to sell to an investor.

EXAMPLE:Say I want to have on Average , $30,000 for any time that I go to buy an Investment Property Is having a  $20,000  HELOC at your disposal , as good as having that  $20,000 in cash ( in a Savings account ) ? 

I am also a veteran so I have the VA loan at my disposal if that maybe changes the answer.

I went to a "life changing" seminar where they wanted $10,000 upfront and at least $90,000 disposable.

The more money at my disposal the easier it is to grow :)

They have to dispose of the property on a timeline that has little to do with the market conditions.3.

The seller has agreed to both.However, having both options at my disposal during the contract period will give me more options w/ my end buyers (strategy is to wholesale).W/ the financing I am looking at creating a 2nd position note, to increase my wholesale fee (create some residual)

The purchase at 25% and closing costs uses up my disposable funds but I don’t need to tap into any retirement accounts, I also have enough to cover anything major if it occurs prior to rebuilding my investment funds (although hopefully it won’t come to that)
