Currently, I am looking for a single family house to rehab in my area and financing.If anyone can suggest a good money lender, I would appreciate it.  

Any suggestions for plumbers that work on commercial/multifamily in Ventura County, California?

Do I get a HELOC or does someone have other suggestions, I don't know much about borrowing money but I'm reading and learning...Thank you!

If you're looking for other markets I would also suggest Indianapolis.  

(though it will surely change overtime)  Once you have done that, I would suggest that you geek-out on learning your market.Although history shows that RE will appreciate over time, speculating and counting on appreciation can be a dangerous strategy.

@Adam Jaken - There are a lot of places and avenues where you can definitely make more than 5-6% but I would suggest you pick a place and research it to get to know the market.

Like many have of the ones suggested I would aim for any service that pulls from one of the "top three" national credit bureaus.

The prices aren't as good as they were a while ago (obviously) but  a lot of the retail buyers are still seeing the inconvenience of the construction rather than the potential.

Christina's suggestion is awesome!

Someone suggested that I could perhaps cash the equity out of the free and clear rental I have and use that towards the purchase of this deal.
