If you fill your portfolio with properties that do not cash flow, you will get pinched quickly or have to rely on portfolio lenders. 

Ie is the tub cracked or just dingy, as in a pinch you can epoxy paint a tub and caulk to bring it back vs replacing outright.

Even an open line of credit somewhere can really help in a pinch so long as you have the means to get it paid back in a relatively short amount of time. 

Then be sure to price correctly, learn to negotiate against different types of negotiators, know all line items of a contract seamlessly not to get pinched, know the entire process not to get stuck in any loopholes, meet inspectors, appraisers, work with mortgage brokers, underwriters and attorneys, know how to react to every obstacle along their way from contract to close...cause we know those never happen!

In a pinch, I suppose putting it in an LLC would make it easier to access the equity from an HML.4.

@Aaron MillisI wouldn't be overly concerned with penny-pinching when it comes to legalities.

And no, Redfin, Zillow, and other consumer sites do not substitute for the actual MLS, but they can get you by in a pinch.

I am in a pinch for some cash.  

Ideally, same features (beds, baths, sq ft, acres, garage, etc) sold within 6 months and 1/4 mile.Very often, I have to push those limits - for lack of data, I've been forced to push both the radius and time frame and I've even gone out to adjoining towns in a pinch - but those towns have to be in a similar socioeconomic strata.You might try coming up with your own and submitting them to the appraiser.

I would agree zero would want their mom to sell to a wholesaler - but then again, 0 would want their mom to be in a financial pinch in need of a solution.
