The more i thought about this traditional path the less it appeals to me.

That said I wonder the real quality of the buyer (education wise) that Homepath purchasers are as compared to traditional finance buyers?

The next move is to re-finance into a traditional mortgage.Most investors use traditional conventional  mortgages to get started, and then use properties they have purchased to use as leverage to finance later deals.

I would ask my broker but I can only assume they would frown upon "wholesaling" as there not very keen on anything outside of traditional buying and selling. : (

Since your putting this in an LLC, you can't get a conforming mortgage, you will have to use a commercial loan.If you want to go the conforming mortgage route, you can't loan the money (like a hard money loan) to yourself, but a brother, cousin, etc, that doesn't live with you can (I've done it before),, you have the title company draw up a loan with the closing paperwork.When you finish with the rehab you go to 'refinance' your mortgage with a traditional lender, not a  problem (or at least I haven't had one).My mother was getting 1% on savings, and I was paying 14% interest to a hard money lender, which made no sense, so we started doing it this way, she got 6% interest, and I felt like I was helping her out,,everyone won.Don't have a spouse loan you the money, keep it someone that doesn't live with you (I know someone that did that and it caused some issues)

Enough to fill in the gaps but maybe not to fund a down payment with traditional lending.  

Definitely a whole lot less expensive than the traditional routes.

If it is a traditional sale through a realtor, read the terms of the contract.

We have recently become interested in real estate investing and I believe we have more options than just the traditional way of buying a home.
