Hey @Jerry Zhang, congrats on finding an interesting deal!

I do not have the finances to make a down payment on any property at the moment.

Find out what is motivating them and lean in on that.

New to wholesaling and need recommendations on title companies that are interested in working with wholesalers?

@Johnny McKeonI feel that 7.75% on this is pretty high. 

We were able to work a deal in the last 2 weeks before it was finalized, we had to pay the max amount of interest for back taxes and water bills and liens on the property.

Unfortunately, it seems like the state of Texas forbids HELOC's on investment properties and I am reluctant to do a cash out refi (or sell the properties) as my current hard money rates on these properties are between 4.5%-6%.

Honestly there are several career paths that will help (Renovation contractor, real estate agent, corporate RE analyst)  but depending upon whether you are looking for a career investing/flipping versus using your W-2 career income to build more by flipping, you can approach it better in my opinion by learning through doing.Flipping especially 1 at a time isn't a full time job and my thought is that you get help on your first, maybe first few flips. 

I will reach out to the Golden Bear Insurance on Monday.

Call the gas company, if it's not back on, schedule a time for them to turn it on.
