@Shan Vincent I've used zumper.com for years without any issues, but don't 100% rely on anyone but me.

Alternatively, does anyone know of a loan originator who can help me create my own friendly line of credit from one of my LLCs and record the liens?

Read books like Set for Life by @Scott Trench and Start with Strategy by @Dave Meyer to get the mindset of starting on the table before going too deep into an asset class or something like flipping.

Just on your purchase and rehab you're at 220 if nothing goes wrong. $7k on holding, $16k in commission, $5 in closing brings you to 248 if everything goes according to plan.

@Kenny Dahill thanks for your explanation bud, you are right on that!

I am working on the next batch.

If you did not and it’s unsecured debt you could be out of luck on some or all of the money as depending on his situation unsecured creditors in a bk may receive pennies on the dollar depending on what he can afford and if converted to a ch 7 you would get wiped out.Even in 2nd position he could argue the property is underwater and wipe out your lien.
