We're excited to have found BP and are soaking it up as fast as we can to help us improve our investment strategies.

While attending school I've discovered that its not the route for me.I'm brand new to RE investing but have been watching youtube videos on leveraging, profitable cash flows, etc etc.I have bad credit due to past family altercations (sub 670) so financing is out of the question, but am debt free.So here is my situation, I have a business partner who owns a construction company and is willing to front all the labor costs of rehabing properties as long as we split costs of materials 50/50.

I found that if I disputed every negative item, that some of them had to be removed because the creditor didn't respond to the verification inquiry from the credit bureau.If you have high credit card utilization rates, but very few inquiries, then your scores can actually improve by asking for credit limit increases. 

We also have a property listed in the BP market place and would welcome any and all comments to improve...

If you're a newbie, I believe it is an absolute basic requirement.Not only will it help clear up some outstanding issues and provide a detailed step-by-step procedure, but also the speakers, Shirley Henderson in particular, offer some valuable tips I have yet to see in any book, YouTube video, etc., or anyone here on bigger pockets.For instance, they will go over the process of double closing, how is totally unnecessary and why only newbie wholesalers would consider it.
