I thought about a hard money lender but I only have 3000.00 in savings and an 7000.00 in open credit through credit cards.

You get the right kind of Heloc its like a huge credit card.

Things we can bring to the table:1- Realtor - access to the MLS for finding and negotiating the best deals 2- Contractor - licensed and insured and in business for 10 years to bring renovation costs down to make more money 3- Money - We have about 20k in Home Depot and Lowe's cards to repair the house4- Work - Willing to do the leg work to find great deals and do complete renovations Problems:1- Credit - My credit is in ok shape, 650 to 700 due to medical bills. 2- Money - I have enough money to do renovationsGoal - Need a smart investor to purchase property with, be a mentor to show us the way.

@Will Koederitz- I think doing another renovation is in the cards.

I put in a little elbow grease and scraped off the old paint, put on some new paint, & put new window panes in.

NTN is the only option I can find, but I would definitely like the ability for the tenant to fill out the application online and provide their credit card number so I don't even have to deal with it.  

I decided to hold a broker/agent open this Friday (with a gift card raffle for those who fill out my agent pricing feedback questionnaire)...I figure that's a good start to getting some opinions & hopefully buyers.

Income from your rental should cover that property + some extra, downsize your personal life if you must (pay off car, credit cards, etc).

Countries like Ireland, Portugal and Spain were reasonably mute in taking their austerity lumps, and are scraping along but surviving.

And those big box stores have store credit cards that offer no interest for 6-24 months depending on how much you spend.
