Your license.Ensure that your prospect knows that they are in the best possible position by selling it directly to you as opposed to a "unlicensed wholesaler" (Sorry guys, in this case, it's his mortgage, or someone else's).Obviously, as a licensee, you need to do certain things... i.e. use a State Contract, Disclose the Value (Article 1 NAR Code of Ethics), and disclose your position as the principal in the transaction (Article 4 NAR Code of Ethics).Once you have determined what their motivation is... and more importantly, what happens if it doesn't sell... then you will have a better grip on what the disposition should be. 

Hi Bob,You may find this article helpful. 

I don't know if this is helpful to your situation, but here's an article I found about it on the CreditCards.com website. http://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/rapid-...I haven't had a reason to put it into practice yet, but if you do, please let me know how it works out.

I love the site so far, I've read the beginner's guide and plan on listening to the podcast and reading more of the articles to get started.A little info about myself, I'm 25 and have been working in my parents' small business since I was old enough to work, so I don't have much real estate experience personally, but I'm very eager to learn as much as I can about investing.

As far as the gurus in general, check out this article-https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2014/05/1...I put in there ways to work the guru pitches and resources.

If you can do this with a CPA letter or Articles of incorporation that will suffice.Now this would be a cash out refinance and not a HELOC so coupled with the comments on commercial, local banks, HML's and looking for a good Loan Officer you should be able to get that cash out and use it to grow your business.So if you have tax returns how did you have you CPA structure them?

Also, I'm sure there are many articles in the Biggerpockets Blogs  Good luck in getting started.
