A fat heloc is my recommendation.  

Looks like you are going to be light years ahead of your friends but don't burn out too soon and enjoy the journey.

i think owner financing is the best way to go, of course make sure your paperwork is up to snuff for both your interests and the buyer so no one gets burned, but it definitely will open up a larger pool of investors wanting to buy your property, i hunt seller/owner finance deals but here in my area they are like finding a 4 leaf clover, almost unreal  but make sure you have the proper originator/attorney help with the paperwork so it is filed correctly and recorded so you are doing it legit. but as far as the deal it is how ever you want it to be,  the term,rate,down payment "if any", complete casual an creative finance option for people, "of course negotiating with the buyer on terms as well" but it has limitless possibilities for you and your buyer, best of luck,Jay,

The reason you haven't closed on a deal this month, is because you are committed to closing a deal this month and not Committed to cold calling 10 MLS listings every day for the next month.The reason you can't get rid of that stubborn belly fat, is because you are committed to loosing belly fat and not committed to running 3 miles a day.Essentially, my epiphany is nothing short of this.Focus on the process and the results will come.

It is raw land, undeveloped. there use to be a house on the property but since then its been burned down and hauled off.

HiMarkI "started" into wholesaling in 2013, found 4 great deals ($75k to $105k profit after reno) BUT didn't have any relationships with "BUYERS" so I showed the properties to some scumbag investors, they waited for the time I had control of the properties to lapse, I pulled out, they moved in bought the properties at my negotiated price and BURNED ME out of my requested assignment fee($5000). 

Now, the plus side to this big fat giant property tax hike that the buyer will incur is that the county is prohibited by Prop 13 from coming in and jacking that bill way the hell up on an annual or bi-annual basis.

Hi @Robert Burns @Joe McCall @Brian GibbonsI have been studying WLO for the past 2 weeks non stop and think I finally get it.

I recently came across a burn out on the mls... the asking price is $355k.

John ... the big fat guy in the steam room gives the kid a simple lesson.
