Sometimes, if the economy slows, it hard to find renters for these type of units without a large population base.Good luck! 

I hear investors being one of dozens putting in offers on the same rehab type houses.

Let me know if you'd like to be added to my mailing list once that has begun - sounds like we are targeting the same types of properties and I will be looking to wholesale.Cheers!

Also if I need someone to put funds into my account, what type of collateral would I need to put up?

Offline includes doing yellow letters, post cards, bandit signs, news paper ads, etc.There's an abundance of material on BP regarding all the methods I've mentioned, so just type in the search box which method you'd like to learn more about and learn that method really well before trying other forms of marketing. 

On that note, some may see home prices as too rich, may be be moving in a few years, or in a cyclical job (oil, some types of construction, etc), so they don't take the plunge on a purchase...Best of luck!

DRAWBACKS1.Poorly organizedWhen I say poorly organized I mean that the information seems to be more organized around what information transunion has and less around the type of information a landlord needs.

Also depends on what type of investing you want to do...a HELOC would be good for fix and flip, but maybe not so for buy and hold.
