I recommend looking into the local credit unions first (Charlotte Metro, Truliant, etc.).Also, in addition to the meetings @Karen Rittenhouse mentioned, I'd invite you to come out to the next networking meetup of local BiggerPocket members:Charlotte, NC REI Networking Meetup - Tues.

Keep in mind we do not have known cost amounts for these repair items, and can just make estimates, and hope no other costly issues are uncovered after attacking some of the repairs.My question is, with our next interaction with the selling agent, should we:A) Ask for the major repairs be metB) Ask for a decrease in agreed upon price (without great idea of what the repairs will cost)C) A combination of both; settle with some repairs met, and a decrease in priceOur entire list is below: (keep in mind that I am not sure if all of these things need direct attention to get the unit rent-able, or if some items can be overlooked for now and deal with later as they become more of a problem)Repair List:Items that need attention before renting unit:Big Ticket Items:Install furnaceInstall all new appliancesInstall water heaterExterior electric power supply is damaged, needs repairInstall guttersNo termite treatmentNo gas meter, install newAttic decking has moisture damage, needs repairSmaller Repair Items:Install electric panel faceplate and secure exposed wiresTwo prong outlets (could not test), swap out, install GFCI where neededTrim tree limbs in contact with power linesMissing light cover under front entranceRepair kitchen windowsRepair kitchen sink leakRepair utility room leakInsulate atticSeal gaps in living room doorLoose bathroom faucetAdjust shower water pressurePatchwork performed in multiple rooms, walls are plaster on wood lathe- which I have been told can have asbestos issues once opened upDeferred Cost Items:Large tree removalTorn and missing roof shinglesSeal plumbing boots on roofRaised soffit under car portSecure electrical lines in attic, they run over attic stringers, not through them (necessary?)

Lima One is great too especially if you have credit or debt to income issues to personally get a loan

Also HELOC's get more restrictive or lenders get rid of credit lines all together.

We get charged 3%, whether our renter pays from their checking account or whether they use a credit card. 

that way any damages are covered.I once had a pre-foreclosure on short sale contract (fell through), so I had been inside, and knew about the flooded basement and mold.  

So I wanted to take this opportunity to potentially build a relationship with a local credit union or regional bank who also provides portfolio lending options. 

Furthermore, I do have some equity in the house and at some point I’m definitely going to take out a line of credit against it as a down payment on my first deal.

Get on top of this one before the Get out of hand with other crazy fees associated with Leasing our your property I don’t know where they would spend the money, as I’m sure they already charge a fee for processing the credit, gate fee, amenity fee etc...
