Currently I want to bring my knowledge to a whole new level and want to see if I can work for someone in the field so that I can improve and build upon my current foundation.

I intend to put my personal residence on the market, and the HELOC would allow me to make some carefully selected repairs/improvements to get a quick sale at a favorable price.  

The lenders wants the seller to put into an escrow account 12 months of rent and a guarantee that the seller will pay the lease improvement and the lease commissions.  

I am just beginning my education and was turned on to your site after watching many of the BP videos on YouTube. 

A Flipper aka house flipper, is an individual whose niche in REI is acquiring property of his/her desire with the intent of not occupying the property, rather creating equity/value in the property, subsequently selling the improved property for material gain; i.e. selling the property for more than it cost to acquire said property + improvement, thus creating profit upon sale of said property.

Hello dear BP community I have been following BP on YouTube for over a year.

Tranportation imporvements, Vacancy rates, unemployment, average household income, growth rate of population, available rental stock, infrastructure improvements, large employers moving in.

Once you know the area, and want to dig deeper - visit your local REIA - attend the meetings, you can even watch youtube videos ( with a lot of "views" - not smaller cheap looking stuff) that pertains to your market.

My current plan is to exit active and go back to school while working for my cousin who is a contractor so I can learn about improving homes.

Anyone else have experience using lightstream for a home improvement loan.
