Plus, 3 or 4 of my officemates heard the debacle and encouraged me to do so, so I probably felt some peer pressured to talk to the cop as well.I'll try and get some pics up.

You're encouraging their bad habits.

All conversations i have push me to seller finance which is not lease with option to own.Best i can tell you is to dig in deep and find an attorney in Jax or NE Fl, , only talk to attorney who has actually written lease with option to own contracts and encourages you to do it, and you confirm he's done them, and can help you avoid or minimize foreclosure and rehab back-bite,  and then send that attorney to me too.... please do that. .until then, seller finance is option for passive income.

I don't have any personal experience in wholesaling and I can't point you in the right direction as far as a mentor but I would encourage you to learn as much as you can with the resources available to you.

Thanks for the **** head response-it's encouraging!

Any help, encouragement, criticism, or just a friendly conversation would be welcomed!

There’s videos all over encouraging the use of Helocs for investment purposes.

This is really encouraging that you’re sharing this.I had almost given up hope finding something on the MLS after a year of searching.

I would encourage you to save as much as you can and build a good credit score.

Read the forums and the post and you will gain so much wisdom that it will save you mistakes and money in the end while the same time giving you great encouragement.
