If you're living there and built up some equity, a possible HELOC may work.

Even then some things don't always fit and you have to come up with a work around.Hire a separate landscaper to finish it all up for better curb appeal**all in all was very happy with outcome & quality** Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

No, this is common for states to not follow the federal guidelines when it comes to bonus depreciation, there is no exemption or other work-around.

They put the money down and you do the work (finding the deal, overseeing rehab, maybe management) and split the equity.

Here's how you can find good deals on properties that might need some work or are priced lower than usual:Connect with People - Make friends with real estate agents, lawyers, and others who know about properties that need to be sold quickly or aren't in great shape.Reach Out Directly - Send letters or use websites to contact property owners who might want to sell fast.Look Around - Drive or walk around neighborhoods to find houses that look like they need fixing up.

How does this process work, and what does it entail?

Sometimes the renters need to be evicted ASAP, but sometimes by talking you find out what the issue is and you can work with them. 

If I were thinking about building wealth fresh out of college, I would begin speaking with different accountants as soon as I start working. 

They were so easy to work with!

I'm waiting until i get more capital and cash reserves to have for when i do purchase, so in the mean time ive been looking briefly on the property's my real estate agent has been sending me. essentially i was wondering what should i be doing while I'm waiting and working towards my first purchase.
