Hey KevinI have have trouble getting financed but Im great at finding deals that make money.

In the meantime, I would suggest you network within your area with other investors, hard money lenders, and wholesalers and see what others are working on...

If you are putting low money down and expect it to cash flow, that is likely not going to happen.

I personally think you're in a great spot because you are asking questions and not just throwing your money around. 

I want to file a judgement against her for the money.

It was good to meet you in person at the event a few weeks ago.

Looking back, I must acknowledge that personal branding and social media played a huge role in my success.

Its really going to come down to multiple factors, including your personal situation/strategy but it appears you are definitely thinking about things in exactly the right way.I'd say since it doesn't seem to be an "urgent" need - I'd advise talking to some lenders and since the rate environment is still moving quite a bit, settle on a interest rate / points combo that is "your number" and when market rates move down to that point - have the lender contact you and get ready to go, and just wait until that occurs

Do you have that money set aside for taxes.I think that the answer to these 2 questions will point you in your direction.

I’d appreciate any tips or personal experiences.
