HI we are Canadians and do a lot of creative financing  in the US more then willing to share how we do it with anyone who wants to chat

There are plenty of P/HMLs that do this and there’s no conflict.

Do some research and choose wisely.As Gregg said, your home is clearly priced wrong or not marketed well.

I had a plumber come out and he wasn't sure he could find where to fix it.

Sorry if I am missing it somewhere!

It takes time and they're not doing so from a position of just getting started.I started out buying rentals off of the MLS, putting 20% down.

Local building codes are going to dictate the options.I researched it several years ago and it ended up being cost prohibitive because of these reasons: 1.)  

This is not how most reputable, experienced investors do it though.

Trying to do everything how it should be done.

Then right before closing, they ran the county records and said they can’t do a HELOC on a home I don’t personally own, and I would need to do a quit claim deed and put it back in my name to get the loan approved and then can do another quit claim deed to put it back under the LLC that it’s currently operating under.
