I'd talk to some credit unions around you locally. 

hello,I want get a Line of credit on my home, and I prefer to work with a credit union.

I have roughly a little more than $3000 in savings, and looking to snowball some secure loans / cards to boost my credit.

Look at his loan application for the note, look at his credit report from the time the note was created and a current credit report.  

That isn't quite a large line of credit for rapid acquisitions, but on the conventional side, LOCs are usually in the $1mm+ range.

@darrell welcome I am fairly new to investing looking into the buy and flip and buy and hold strategies.

Hello BP community new investor who is interested in finding a multi family in Easton if you are an investor friendly real estate agent or investors I am interested in speaking with you in terms of your experience and knowledge of this area and any advice in investing in Easton in terms of area, type of multi families, great community banks or credit to get financing etc.

- the listing agent has an even bigger commission in the deal if there is no buyer agent, so they may work extra hard to upsell the deal to you to make the deal work - a takeaway may backfire, for example, 6% commission and you ask the seller to now work for 3% and credit the sales price, will they truly represent your best interests? 

But 8% seems like a fairly low rate of return for what you will be doing.

And a ton of money sometimes when we are careful.Stick to your lease agreement, get the Security Deposit, get co-signers if need be, and always run a credit check.
