Another source is Dykes Boddiford who teaches an occasional seminar as well as the book by attorney Mark Warda on trusts which ought to be useful. 

It sounds like when the Condo 2 hits near the 18 month mark, I'll go ahead and try to pull a HELOC. 

If turned down.. seek PRIVATE INVESTORS that loan on the property ..and if you default the private investor gets the GOOD DEAL PROPERTY that you worked to find and purchae and.... they just get the property with no black mark on your credit report and lessons learned.. 

@Mark D., so it sounds like there isn't much I can do at this point then in regards to the foreclosure, more or less a waste my time to pursue?

Cheers,Mark

@Mark Manship Hello Mark!

As far as what to charge, their is mark-up and profit to be considered, so this would depend on the contractors price points.

Hi All.Im a new inverstor and was wondering the pro's and con's of using a realtor vs craigslist or other markeing to find my first tennants for a higher end unit.Regards,Felix

That tends to be an oxymoron in most areas, especially mine, but there are a few around. 90% of them just lock stuff up off of the MLS, mark it up $5,000, throw a few comps in an email and then send it out to buyers.
