Do you have a way to secure more off-market deals? 

A Heloc can never be used as a PITI reserve, or an asset instead its a debt burden and an additional trade line on credit.A Heloc carries a higher risk when it comes to security meaning if you miss a payment even by mistake or for any reason, your scores drop, or your balances start to change your DTI or usage percentage.

He's on SSDI (Social Security Disability Income) at just under $1,500 a month and he wants to do some wholesales to make some extra income.Lets say he does a deal or multiple deals and makes any assignment fee on it/them and the profit exceeds 1.5k which is higher than his disability per month.

Also, interview at least 10 lenders to secure the best loan terms.

Not sure if we can mention names specifically here in the forums so you'll want to search Google for rent collection for landlords or similar.Highly recommend having security deposit and rent hit a separate bank account from your personal. 

You would need to file a proof of claim for the monies owed and hope you secured it by a deed of trust.

While you may need to sift through less serious inquiries, I’ve successfully secured some strong deals and valuable connections through these platforms.

These sellers are not motivated by distress, but if a seller does engage and declines to pay the commission, will the representation agreement suffice to secure compensation, or will we still need to execute the compensation disclosures?
