People I've spoken to have suggested it sounds like a scam, because the company just wants my details, then apparently they are going to create a fake identity in my name, and put me in debt..

"The best laid plans of mice and men""Patience is a virtue"First I may suggest to envision your end game, to own a smooth running, cost mitigating and profitable MFB( multi-family-buliding), MRB( multi-residential-building) or could it also be a MUCB ( multi-unit-commercial-building)?

Also this post is in no way meant to advocate any practice or business plan anyone else plans to do.As always I wish the best in your decisions.SIDE NOTE: I notice you are in Canada, my information is even less valid than the disclaimer would suggest

Any suggestions on how I could start?

Can anyone suggest where I might go to get a loan at just slightly higher interest rates so that I can still make decent margins renting the property?

First time poster, any suggestions or solutions would be awesome! 

I might also suggest you look up Tom Krol at Wholesaling Inc. as a wholesale coach.

Myself bought properties and rehab but from the market, not from  the auction.Hot property, need  100%financing and  100%rehab loan if possible or what is the max. possibilityAsked Vendors, getting reply to put 20% down and 20% rehab loan or partnership with them.Any suggestions on auction and financing or anyone from Northshore Chicago would like to give advice?

In order to keep this simple, let's not make judgments on the current state of the stock market or where it might be headed in the next year or 2 or 5; let's simply assume the commonly touted 7-8% average long-term return will continue ... again just to keep it simple.Thanks all ...

I would suggest you invite one person you'd really like to talk with out, set a time, and then invite other people, rather than trying to coordinate schedules with a bunch of people here.I'll come if I'm free--which I'm often not.
