I hope you have calling cards made up that say you are a managment firm and are giving them out at the Real Estate Clubs and Real Estate Meet ups that I hope you are attending.  

We would pay off our credit cards, get me a nice used truck($10-17k) so I can more easily do side work(landscaping and grass cutting) that I do all the time.

I could pull half that out of credit cards I have today with zero balances, but the rates there are atrocious.

Best bet on something that small is to secure it with something else, like a HELOC or credit card. 

@Jon Mbu here is our first experience as investors and as auction.com purchasers which was an occupied property. http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/522/topics/177...Their website will answer your questions but to make it a bit quicker (you should verify this on their site just in case it's different for the property your interested in or your state), the $2,500 is a hold placed on your card.

I PUT OUT BANDIT SIGNS EVERYWHERE AND MONEY DROP CARDS!!

Hey everyone,So I just sent my first round of 1000 post cards out and they should be hitting mailboxes today.

Have the creditor automatically charge the card every month, your bank automatically pay the credit card off every month, and your paycheck direct deposit into the account every week.

.): I charged the huge amount of my they asked for there education on my credit cards and even opened a new one (dumb)  with the cheers that I'd be able to pay it off in the first 3 months.

I sent out 577 post cards to absentee owners with 60-100% equity and got about 10 calls.
