So, we're trying to find other ways to connect with people who are active in the city. 

If you demolished inside and they see it you cannot get a standard HELOC you will need to go hard money as most lenders are going to tell you that any worker who stepped on the site can lien the property and HELOC's do not use a new full title report, they rely on the title report of the last sale (again like I started with if people DIY record after closing it's a problem). 

I even had two people claim to be licensed in certain areas that in fact they were not and could not even pull a permit... not to mention they were not even properly credentialed for major things like electrical and plumbing. 

I am excited to connect with as many people as possible and committed to adding value to this industry. 

(Horsebnb.com)Looking for additional income sources AND the fun people I think this would attract. 

Lakewood is a very sought after rental area with high rental rates, and a lot of people will pay high rents to live in close proximity to Lakewood, and downtown Cleveland, which this area is right in the middle of those two, as well as right by lake erie.  

Finding people you can TRUST to build your Core 4!

Most people are not willing to do this but if you're scrappy you can pay wildly different prices for the exact same thing. 

While this is true, I think most people forget there are two components to refinance.

. - Single family homes to rehab and hold or to fix & flip- Loan is in your name not your LLC- Rates between 5% and 6% depending on credit score- 30 year term loan, fixed rate, no pre payment penalty if sold or paid off anytime- Example buy at 100,000 and add 50,000 for rehab = 150,000 means 15% down payment or 22,500- So the buy is financed at 85% and so is the rehab if you look at it that way- House will be appraised off a contractors write up of the work to be done and must appraise out ARV to at least the 150,000 to make sense at all; if not loan is not approved so a buyer cannot get into trouble in that sense with lender oversight- all work must be done by licensed trades people, not the own themselvesIf this sounds plausible I'm happy to answer questions.
