I would look into a traditional HELOC.

The term is more traditionally used in an investment setting, and isn't  usually used when referring to a 30 year mtg etc.That being said, I stand by my original post.

Have all the BP special books, rich dad poor dad on audio, real estate rewind, 7 years 7 figure wealth..Any recommendations I can cram into my load out, must be able to be put onto my tablet.  

If they don't have the 10k they are unlikely to qualify for financing at a traditional bank.

Conventional loans traditionally have a down payment requirement of around 20%.

The sticking point for us is the foreclosure, so we are unable to get any kind of traditional financing (we are just coming up to the timeframe that the FHA allows for a primary loan).  

I also want to leverage my experience and connections to help other advanced investors who want to do the same with their riches.

Hi,I thought that a good first post would be an introduction and saying hi to everyone out there.I live in the San Francisco bay area, working in the tech industry with a strong desire of doing something that produces some more cash than what my bank savings account does (almost negative).Came in here with the desire to learn more about REI after reading Brandon Turner's "The Book on Investing In Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down" book, which I read after reading Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad, Poor Dad".

@Victoria Silva Conventional Financing has very low rates as well with traditional banks.

In order to bring people  (who were all some form of Pagan at the time)  into the Church the early Catholics used a lot of incorporating:  re-working old Pagan traditions into something "Catholic" (which means 'universal' in the original Greek)  to entice people to convert more readily.Although in the case of the Pagan sacred number 13 the tactic was to discredit it instead:  13 became spoken of as "unlucky" and associated with death and bad things in general.It is no accident that Christian holidays all occur on the dates or previous Pagan holidays:  Christmas in on the Winter Soltice, Easter at the Spring Equinox.
