Okay, I guess one of the questions I have is can you combine a heloc and a traditional mortgage, or is there a different type of product for this? 

Well of course it is, they are offering a product you can't find many places so you are going to have to pay a little more for it.

@Youdo Thirakul  I agree with Andrew Johnson it seems like they are trying to sell you something they are not getting an annual ROI of 200%+ with buy and hold and probably not with flipping either unless they have been extremely lucky (meaning they probably can't do it again).

But a 600 credit score would not meet my credit criteria unless there were some extremely extenuating circumstances that can be verified.

But know your budget will be the biggest influence of all this... it's extremely hard to find deals w/ out putting money into them. 

Finding deals and raising capital is great but one also needs to understand the different financing options\products in the market. 

This will lead to higher productivity and greater fulfillment.Be obsessed with self development: The essence of life is growth.

I had two of these loans fall apart on very good deals in the Berwyn area this past year, and I always counsel caution when considering this loan product. 

Needed 30k worth of work, sold for 90k Now these deals are extremely hard to find and yes I had offers on about 10 properties, this was the only one who bit, circumstances were it was a estate sale, parents passed, parents house, kids lived out of state didn’t want to deal with it.

I currently trying to do my due diligence by learning what I can from reading the forums, listening to the Biggerpockets podcasts, webinars, etc. however, the opportunity to be able to establish a connection with likeminded investors would be extremely helpful and make this new journey for me a little less intimidating.
