I have worn a lawyer hat in a previous life but I must first counsel you to obtain legal advice licensed in your state.   

Real Estate is such a great way to obtain finiancial freedom, and there is no resource better, in my personal opinion, than the BP community.

That is a slow route but if done correctly you don't need your own additional cash for every deal.Two other possible funding sources are a business line of credit (once you've built your business and develop a relationship with a lender), or find a private lender to provide acquisition funds.In sum, I don't see a method of obtaining a conventional mortgage on investment properties in need of rehab.There's a networking group meeting tonight so maybe someone there knows the solution....Best of luck. 

Many lenders are licensed in multiple states, so you could find someone local here in Bergen County with obtaining a mortgage down in Florida.

Sadly it will be next to impossible for you to obtain any sort of conventional bank financing. 

Hi @Paulie Moore ,If your interested in development I would highly recommend you check out the UW's Certificate in Commercial Real Estate program - it was fantastic.

Anyways is their another way to obtaining a loan for a property other than going through your typical mortgage lender?

After obtaining the inspection report, I learned that the property was in great condition, though it needed a new roof and tuck pointing soon. 

Without the passion, success is hard to obtain. 

How should I obtain clients?
