I plan to invest long term and not short term.

This option will run for 27 YEARS as this property owner selling us the exclusive OPTION to buy their Home will still LIVE there.

The cost difference is something you'll have to run the numbers for between a new build and rehabbing an existing property.

I've have read many books, listened to many podcasts, and read many posts on this forum and still do so, but I sat on the sidelines for a number of years just trying to save enough money in my emergency fund before starting to save some down payment money. 

I cannot run comps on property with inaccurate information, and I will not be able to determine the ARV to make a good offer.

Private money loan?

I run a wholesaling company that markets in the northeast part of FL and I am looking for a new PPL company to buy "motivated" leads from.

I have $70K of my own money I can use as a down-payment, but am looking for someone to finance the rest ($280K) as I'm a real estate agent and am having difficulty securing a loan from a traditional bank in a timely matter.

Unlike a conventional and FHA loan, there are no strict guidelines for private money.
