I borrowed money from relatives.I financed houses 90% to 97% with first mortgages.I borrowed second mortgages.I borrowed on unsecured lines of credit/signature loans.I got a partner to put up the cash, because I had none.I borrowed on credit cards (I do not recommend this).The first 11 properties that I bought were all essentially 100% financed.I talks some more about this in the bigger Pockets Podcast #82 give it a listen.Merry Christmas, I just gave you 10 gifts above.

You are essentially starting over.

The first 1 properties that I bought were essentially 100% financed through personal loans, second mortgages, lines of credit, and partners. 

I'm here to learn what tools I need to get to get the most out of this field and give back.

But your house is just a tool you use to make money. 

Looking forward to networking with you and the other members of the community as well as learning from the tools & resources on the site. 

Trulia. com and the rating system they use is one tool you can use, and you should look at the particular property address to see what schools are linked.  

I would love to also help other understand the power of real estate, so I could also use this as a training tool for others to also help them learn.  

I know for limited capital investors or limited credit investors its a tool they like.. but its really bad for a seller unless the sellers' credit is already trashed and their is no equity and they were walking anyway.. and its a purchase money 1st were no deficiency judgment could be obtained by the lender

I would also recommend using the flipping calculator under the "Tools" dropdown menu here on BP.
