Joshua Dorkin - the courses I've taken haven't been related to wholesaling, but include John Schaub on rentals, Bill Bronchik on partnering, and Susan Lassiter-Lyons on joint venturing.My previous investing career consisted of rentals - three-plex, duplex, single fam, mobile home.

Lenders want to see experience.Not so easy: Find an equity partner to provide the capital, you do all the work.

My partners(which would be two to three partners; four including me) are in the trades.

Uwe S. basically you are looking for a private lender or money partner.

Well, if you don't have much experience, and you're looking for an investment where your biggest time investment is in "the initial research, due-diligence required, etc," then I would suggest finding an experienced and successful investor who needs capital, and partner with him/her.

When you add partners - you lose control.

I'm just starting to partner up with another BP member to start flipping properties in a new state (for both of us).

I would highly recommend your first property be sans partners.

The HOA is a partner in your business, and they are uncooperative and don't always act in your interest.

The LTV will depend on the strength of the property as well as you and partners if any, but if this is your first, you'll probably be looking at 60 to 70%.
