HELOC can be offered immediately after rehab is completed, they do an appraisal that I'm on the hook for.Isn't this a better deal? 

List it at the correct price point, and your p/s will be subject to lender approval of the sales price.This process can take a long time to complete. 

I also want one who is willing (for a fee, of course), to complete the paperwork for me that the wholesaler won't, in order to finish my transaction. 

I did a complete renovation and learned a ton.

I need someone who is reliable and completes the job.

I was getting these for 70k to 90k and putting in another 20k-25k on avg or so in rehab so that I was all in at 70% ARV.But the homes in that price range have all but completely disappeared in the areas I look in.

Also, what timeline should I expect for getting my first deal completed?

How is that paid for/completed?

This helps ensure the contractor stays with the job for quick completion. 

We're buying a 2 unit that we're going to completely rehab and the tenants in the 2 unit are month to month.
