The requirements/underwriting process will be much easier and quicker than working w/ a bank or more traditional source of financing.

Just like what Bryant mentioned, its not much different than a traditional wholesale.

It’s possible but from the syndicator’s perspective a lot of unneeded work when you can just raise the funds the traditional way.

I have minimal credit at this point in my life, ergo a traditional mortgage is most likely not an option for me, at least not yet. 

If you are looking for inspiration to invest then I would read "Rich Dad Poor Dad"by Robert T.

In terms of other options, I explored hard money loans and piecing it together by sharing equity with friends and family, but if I hadn't found a replacement for the traditional lender, then I probably would just walked away and licked my wounds before getting back after it with another property. 

Buy smart, buy right and you'll be fine.Without 2 years of taxes for your self-employment, you're going to find it very difficult to get a traditional loan.

I presume I have about 20% equity based on market conditions and comps, but that doesn’t leave much meat in the bone for traditional HELOC.Thank you!
