While applying for my HELOC yesterday, the bank (Citizens Bank) gave me a tip about writing checks that was new to me.  

I also sometimes get profitable properties for sale to investors, directly from the seller. 

Currently I am changing direction with the market and starting to do some new construction, creating notes, and still flipping a few properties.I am now wanting to meet and network with others that have the same drive and desire for getting the most out of life.  

I'm getting ready to launch a direct mail marketing campaign targeting ugly properties and apartment buildings.

I would look into Self Directed IRA or 401K, both of those tools can drastically cut the time between "saving money" to "purchasing a property".  

If you residence is paid off, you could apply for a HELOC on that.

Also, do not accept money directly from her to cover the daily charge, that could be seen as collecting partial rent, which will delay the eviction process.

hello BP familyMy name is Stefan Chirila and moved in California from Romania in 2011. happy to be here and finally taking  my first action and come on board.I am 32 years old, did sport at the highest level all my life, I am married and Civil Engineer, when I moved in US I started working as a labor for a small construction company(didn't have rights, and not shame about that), throughout time I learned the language and got my rights and equivalent my degrees and eventually started to work in construction management as an assistant Superintendent for a very big GC, everything is good happy with my job with my growth in US in a very short time, but always had in me the filling that I can do more then just working hard and make money for someone else, always dream about financial freedom, never actually took actions in that direction. 

The cost was probably 1.5 times more than going directly to a contractor, but I never had to chase anyone one down to get things done correctly.

Hello MattThank you for reaching out.Surely would appreciate an advise from you in the right direction.
