I know of a few investors who do buy and holds primarily in Denbigh with condos as their primary strategy with great success.  

Very slim chance of success but maybe.

Good luck and I know you will have great success with this in the forums!

Congrats on your 2011 success. 

MS don't fool around.. they picked him up on Friday night ( you know on purpose) so he had to sit in the cooler until Monday when the judge got in to set bail.But every state is different on how they handle this stuff.in the list I gave you I have funded wholesalers and flippers in all those cities Save NY ... every other one I have funded in... along with half a dozen more cities not mentioned that are too tough to wholesale in in the first place like CA..wholesaling is a very very tough gig.. and not a starter strategy.. the guys I know that are successful have big business's with huge budgets to make this work.. its not a hey I have no money I am going to wholesale and get money to buy and hold.. can that work . sure a blind squirrel finds an acorn.. but to really make any money at it .. its a full blown business.. with all the things you need in a mature business enterprise.. staff  capital... experience and UBER sales skills.

Has anyone had success using a HELOC on primary to pay cash, then refi'ing into traditional financing?

I'm looking to connect with people that are investing successfully in the Houston area.

It will cost you a commission, but only if the realtors are successful and it gets them marketing your property for you too.Otherwise, it is the holiday season. 

If someone has had success in Coral Springs or coconut creek area with a manager, I would love to be introduced.

I was wondering if anyone had any success.
