We have two 1 year olds so being in a safe neighborhood is vital to convincing my wife that this is the best move to getting to financial freedom as quickly as possible.

So being on a tighter budget this time around with less time to put ALL my life into flipping a house (at least for now) for a quick sale,  i figure my best bet is to start through a rental.  

Any recommendations for a super quick HELOC?

I want to pass on my first try so that I can get started in Real Estate as quickly as possible.

@Peter Bui,I also forgot to mention you may want to have a quick chat with a closing company and/or attorney where the sale will occur to talk to them about specific documents your state may require.  

Keep running your numbers and be ready to move quickly when you do find the property that works for you because chances are that if it really is a good deal then someone else will be ready to roll if you're not.  

As new apartments open across the city in record numbers, vacancy rates have grown, rents have stopped rising and landlords are offering an increasing number of freebies to get tenants in the door.For years, the Seattle rental market was so heated that renters would constantly monitor online listings and quickly show up to available apartments with checkbooks and references in hand.

Quick Question, You mentioned that you flip homes!

I was hoping someone with some foreclosure/auction experience could help me out with a quick question about the process in general. 

Super quick read.
