Anyone on the internet that you don’t know who’s asking for money up front and promising to do a hard money loan at 6% interest should be viewed with suspicion. 

I'm starting work soon on a Cargo Ship where I will be away from up to 6 Months at most and without cell or internet for about a week at most.

However, I keep reading posts/internet searches where people are saying you do NOT need a loan of "any kind" to purchase a property as a wholesaler, that you simply "put it under contract".

HUDAsstAnimalNC1-28-2020.pdf From the HUD Guidelines in Jan. 2020: "In HUD’s experience, such documentation from the internet is not, by itself, sufficient to reliably establish that an individual has a non-observable disability or disability-related need for an assistance animal.""

You may end up starting where they left off.Sometimes cut and run is cheaper.DISCLAIMER: Not legal or legal advice, just the mindless ramblings of some dolt on the internet. 

You might also see if there are alternative internet providers where you can get TV through the internet.  

My tenants are always sending me new laws they find on the internet, haha. 

But looking at some example specifications on the Internet for things like the foundation, they found clauses like this which seem important but which seem like they require a decent level of expertise (e.g., it would help you are a general contractor which my friend is not):Joist framing.

To start off, please note that a large majority of hard money lenders throughout America are honest, hard working individuals who manage private equity for private investors, and distribute those private equity funds to worthwhile real estate ventures, usually on a local basis, but with the current internet era, often Nationwide.

That is one of the caveats to posting on the internet.
