I've had some good experiences with the IAB financial  and three rivers federal credit union.

I went to a tax sale at my city hall in my town three years ago. 

What you are describing are really three choices. 1& 2 are both passive investments. 

Well now I am here to try and do at least two house this year, if not three.

You're still handling every line as three data points. 

I am thinking that I can possibly take out HELOC on both properties to leverage my way in to and fund rehab on a quick flip or three.

Not sure that's the best plan to invest with one of three children but I have them excited about RE. 

This specific disclosure is likely the reason why any of my three investigations for unlicensed broker activity ever proceeded to a fine, or a charge (I've been investigated for it in Colorado, Washington, and Oregon).From there, you as a buyer are looking for another buyer that you would like to assign your option to.

It's in the hallway leading from the living room to the bathroom and the three rooms, so I suppose the challenges if that's done would be the resulting aesthetics and the noise pollution.
