Seems a bit much to go through the trouble for my license at this stage just so I can have access to the MLS.

Right now I'm in the learning stage but hope to be started with my first investment by January.

Are banks open to such Arrangements?

At this stage, you DON'T have enough equity to be ready to do the Refi part of the BRRRR strategy, but hopefully your own income will allow you to SAVE for a 3.5% deposit for an FHA-approved Loan for your NEXT primary.The difference is, you're NOW more knowledgeable about what it takes to be able to Refi all your deposit back again for NEXT time (eg. if your next one also appraises at $70k, you need to have no more into it than $49k (70%), including your deposit. ie.

You may want to consider virtually staging it.

How do you stage vacancies? 

Did they arrange for the inspections?

Yeah im in the middle of the secured credit card stage right now.

Then you only need to pay one set of closing costs when you pay then off with your permanent loan.A third option that would be even more ideal would be to arrange private funding from a friend or family member who has money to invest (or multiple people could pool their money).  

In the past I pretty much did the traditional buy/sell deal, but not exposed to the creative side of REI.Initially I am targeting about $10K/month in income so I can fully devote my time in REI.Currently looking for a Mentor that would guide me through the initial stages of REI.
