What I typically see investors do to get rolling is use a Heloc or cashout refi on an existing property to get the startup capital they need.

So have a great loan officer that understands those programs, and doesn't just push you to FHA.#6. 

.- You close on December 10th- The property is in great shape and does not need any significant repairs- It only needs some paint touch-up and changing a couple of broken fixtures, which you do yourself- You spend the next week buying furniture, electronics and supplies and installing/arranging everything yourself- You also roll up your sleeves and scrub the toilets and sinks and appliances- You put it on AirBnB/VRBO and have your first guest renting it for the 3 days of Christmas- You second guest rents it for the following weekend and leaves before NYE- You personally clean and restock the place between these two guestsCongrats!

You need an expert to push to get the house sold.

It's pretty rare I see any that is super easy and the cash just keeps rolling in. 

Especially if it has to go through the state attorney general.Also maybe someone on here knows someone at the AG's office that could try and push it threw for you.

Personally I try to push out my terms on all my loans even when investments could cash flow on shorter term loans.

It sounds like you've got the ball rolling in the right direction already, so keep up the great work!

Maybe it'll push us back to cable service.
