I really appreciate you us giving a heads up here and am sorry for what you went through with them. 

So far I got the Chase Ink card, but the funding process is moving very slowly and with very, very low limits.I hope that clarifies where I'm at in my head (still trying to figure this out!)

I know there are risk involved like market down turn, not selling for ARV, higher than expected renovation cost, etc, but I'm really worried about people just taking the money and running away with it.

I  know that there are certain stipulations that come with the grant and I want to use  FHA  loans to keep my down payments low.

There are useful techniques that cut the time down drastically and we offer insights in our list.

Many of the derelict houses have been torn down, and a lot of the remaining vacant properties are being snapped up by investors. 

If you/your friend ventures down to Cincinnati/Dayton feel free to DM me.

I put down all my money on this deal.
