The problem is finding something under $150k to then use the extra funds for a reno is quite rare. 

I am open to detailed approaches to navigate funding. 

They welcome agents who want to do their own thing for a low transaction fee. 

Look at Houston communities that have high rental demand, reputable schools, low crime rates, and enticing amenities.

This person probably sites on the internet and thinks they know what they are talking about but again 100% clueless.Rental Pricing Regulations 99% of the time HUD pays MORE than cash.in OH anyway.Risk of Renting in Lower Income Areas SEC 8 prop can be anywhere, NOT just low income, I have props in the best areas in Cleveland.

If you get into wholesaling and find yourself needing help finding end buyers, title cos, or funding for earnest money, or double closing please feel free to reach out any time.

I know Id probably get a bit more interest if I lowered rent, but I'm not sure if pricing is really the reason for low interest.

Trying to find new avenues for funding because I missed out on a recent deal because of lack of funding and don't want that to happen again.

Use the line as an emergency fund, or to renovate properties as needed.  

I actually do this as a side gig - creating websites for real estate investors (it funds my REI).
