Being that I'm a full time student and my income cannot be proven because it's all from trading, would it be reasonable for me to take out a HML for 6/12 months, and either come up with the rehab capital myself or use another investors help for rehab, and as an exit strategy tell my HML I plan to rehab and then cash out refinance to pay them off as my other investor and then rent out the property for the cash flow a use any excess funds for further investment?

No real opinion as there really isn't much info there, but I'd suggest using your money for the first step, buying it, then you can rehab money.

It shows that you've actually taken steps towards buying and it's not just an idea you got watching Flipping Vegas the night before.

I'd advertise it now anyway, obviously emphasizing the ability for "custom" choices by he buyer, and just proceed with all the basics anyway, and see if a buyer steps up.

Thanks everyone.Been trying to do the step at a time thing reading through the "Ultimate Beginners Guide" first, going to go to the DCREIA meeting this Saturday.

What were the first steps you took in creating a buyer's list?

Thanks @Kim H.I might get in touch with you once I am done with the initial steps :)

They have a contract with you to represent you, now they need to step up and do it.

. :) It is for me so i don't waste my time getting it under contract and trying to find an end-buyer, where no one will be willing to step into that much negative equity.
