I am currently in the process of seeking out options for financing the property of my liking but my credit score right now isn't the best.

I've been selling commercial full time for almost a year and am struggling getting off the ground - I am building a solid database (from 0) of industry professionals (buyers/sellers/brokers/wholesalers etc), doing lead gen daily, and finding quite a few pocket listings.

If they continue to refuse I would seek some legal advice from an attorney.  

Do I need to tale to a professional that handles 1031 exchange before listing property for sale?

Would you use seek out foreclosures to utilize the BRRRR strategy again?

You do not need any professional real estate certifications to flip houses, however, any training or special education in this field can be helpful, it certainly can not hurt.I had no appraisal, design, agent license, architectural training, or even a contractors license.

I'm looking to learn and develops relationships and potentially seek some investors in my projects for some good returns.

@Amber Landry  I am not sure what "high income" is but I personally would probably listen to the advice of the professional.  

@Matthew Charron I do hope someone takes you up on your offer.In case no one does though, I'd recommend you attend a local real estate investor group like Black Diamond REI in southern Mass. or RI Real Estate Investors Group in RI.You'd want to engage several people in conversation, particularly during the times at the beginning and end of the meetings when folks typically network, and maybe ask a few folks out to coffee.Many people look for "mentors", and that might work for you, but another approach to consider would be just to try making friends with people who are one or two steps ahead.So maybe they're not successful full-time investors (the Holy Grail of Mentor-seeking), but instead own one or two rental properties, or have done one or two successful flips, or really anything in one of the directions you want to go.I find that can be easier to achieve, and you can get a lot out of it because such folks are very familiar with the challenges you face - after all, it wasn't long ago they were at that same point themselves.

I tried using one company and found it clunky and had no success.2) I do one professional style letter and I do it for around $0.70 ea.
