Hi All - I have substantial equity tied up in two investment properties (a 5 family commercial property and a 3 family residential property) which I would like to access through Line of Credit products.

Or learn to use Excel or a similar application. 

Is there an issue from keeping business separated from personal, if I maintained a really detailed excel file that lists all cashflows that's related to my business until my LLC is setup and I have a business checking/savings account setup?

Do you need excel still or any other outside applications? 

Hi Pedro,In my opinion, 20% return on your investment is excellent.

Likely, will go with the lenders that already have a short sale or foreclosure lending product, for obvious reasons. 

Try Paul at Ivory Pillar Properties, Inc   He has worked with several of my flip worthy clients and done an excellent job.   

I just have to be a contrarian here @Caleb Heimsoth  as Caleb states I cannot think of anything risker than remote rehab for beginners.. keep in mind the author is a very experienced real estate professional and what works for him simply is not germane for beginners I know they want to sell books on this site.. but I fear there is going to be some really sad people that try to do this and simply don't know what they don't know.. all to just save 5 to 10k  extra that a flipper that does all the work and takes all the risk makes bringing you a finished product.. you can lose 10 to 20k in a heart beat doing this if not more.. 

Recommended conferences: Papersource Symposium: https://papersourceseminars.com/Note Expo: http://noteexpo.com/Below is a link to  Josh Andrew's book which is an excellent starting resource about NPL investing.

That kind of domination will help you be more profitable/productive at what you do.
