Hey @Matthew Roberts@Jerry Padilla is an excellent person to speak with regarding the 203k loan.Let me know if you’d like any assistance with the property identification/acquisition side of things.  

Are there any brokers, investors or agents in Florida looking for an extra free hand to help assist with anything?

If you can spend more time, more money and get massive results then you should follow these.Create a website must be PROFESSIONAL have a blog and get someone to write for you add at least 2 posts a monthBrand yourself or your company and give some value it could be FREE EBOOK, VIDEO ADVICE, TIPS, or anythingReach to people as much as possible (STOP THINKING ABOUT LEADS FOR A WHILE) connect with more people show your interest share valuable stuff.Try to use Facebook, twitter, instagram, as well as linkedin gain good number of followers and audience share interesting thingsBuild an email list within your niche that could help you to connect with more business people and investors who trust you.

They have to spend a ton of money upfront sometimes hundreds of thousands to millions on a project to get it to go.

This causes the borrower to pay compounded interest as their extra principal that month is not working for them this month and "sits," in queue to be recalcuated on the 1st of the next month.This is not to say its bad or good because some people only get paid 1-2 times per month and have no extra cash flow coming in and dont have a lot of free cashflow at the end of the month so this might be the best strategy for their particular scenario.To best maximize HELOC pay check parking or AIO daily sweep function a borrower that Im looking for is either:- making a lot more than they spend per month like 1.25 - 2.0X income to expenses of the take home pay or more- or has a lot of flows like mentioned above - or combination of the above to super charge it

I would upgrade one side at a time spending 20K and raise the rent.

I was wondering everyone's take on the program, if you are familiar, and any advice on spending the 2k for entry.

I’m new to investing, and would love the opportunity to assist (time-wise) in an investment deal somewhere in the Coachella Valley, in California, so that I can learn how and what to do.

Hey Chris, perhaps I can assist here. 

Your best option would be to find a place for her to rent that she can afford with out needing your financial assistance , one you do not own, and rent your own place to a tenant.
