From what I've learned it seems that a HELOC is probably the easiest way to gain funding but at the same time it comes with risks if the flip isn't successful. 

If you could do it differently, owner occupied is easiest to get a HELOC on and has the lowest interest rates.  

If that’s not an option the cheapest and easiest option two would be to use NORTHWEST REGISTERED AGENT out of okemos Michigan. 

The only two ways to rectify this are (1) purchase the property far below market price or (2) significantly increase the property net income usually through some method of “repositioning”.

Sure, I could look for a higher paying job, but I was wondering if anyone has any creative short-term methods to improve my ratio.

Easiest way to do that is go to the top of this page and click on AGENT and there you'll be matched with 3-5 agents in your areaBest of luck in 2025!
