I know that I want to get into rental properties long term and was thinking of wholesaling or getting a real estate license as a start, since I don’t have any capital.I’m hoping there’s someone in the New Orleans area or even elsewhere who would be willing to help me out and show me the ropes or even just give me some tips.

Do you all have any tips on doing this?

Regarding leaving it as is - well, the tenant has moved in already, so I will definitely wait with further job until the next turn-over.

Send me a PM and I can call you to discuss further. 

If I have to delay purchasing, what is the best way to compensate her for her time or any tips of keeping a good working relationship with them?

I'm confident you can as well.Let me know if you need me to elaborate on the tips above!

Hey BP,I'm truly trying to get a firm grasp on how a HELOC works.

It is a sellers market and the guru are churning out more wholesalers every day, driving the demand further. 

Have you taken any further steps in your investing path?
