Feel free to Private Message me on this and we can just talk it through. 

There should be private groups that give people credentials to show the public that they know what they're doing -- then the public can decide if they want to only work with people that have that credential  (and I say this as someone who's licences)

I will let the numbers dictate how to move forward with the BRRR but the first step is securing the first deal!

Private investor How did you add value to the deal?

The plan currently is to fund this flip (price at foreclosure sale + reno) by private money at a 10% interest rate with no payments until closing, after the flip.I looked through all the contracts available here on BP and none of them seemed like the right fit. 

Just secured a good CPA and will be addressing the other holes in my team in the next couple of weeks. 

To overcome the lack of financials without going to a private lender for the down payment and closing costs, I plan on wholesaling.

Legally, your security deposit is owed to you the same as it was before. and current owner has the same obligations they had before.

As a little retired lady, how would she be able to secure a loan to do this?

Go with a private lender, do all 5 at once, keep the LLc and try to buy down some points.More info:The person selling the properties manages his and about 25 others.
