Welcome to the area - it is a beautiful place to live and a great place to get involved in real estate.

I like both of these guys, however drugs at work... more than a huge red flag.

@Meghan McCallumYou can structure it anyway you want really, that's the beauty of working direct with private individuals and their money. 

Beautiful!!

I also had a $15k HELOC from the old house, and this is the beauty in the value of home ownership that I would argue with anyone who says buying a home for personal residence is not a good investment.The Homepath house needed almost no work because Homepath often comes in and does a full cosmetic rehab on some of their houses (there is an icon in the listing that indicates it was done this way.)  

I wish I were rich and beautiful, with no work required, but here I am stuck in reality with the rest of you suckers!!!

Then, at the end bring it all back with a couple of "I'm sorry" and make it a successful, beautiful flip.

Navarre Beach at the west end is the Red Neck Riviera, land of the big four wheel drive pickups.  

The beautiful thing about successfully implementing this stratey is that someone with a little bit of cash could use it over and over again to build a nice rental portfolio!
