Basically they are installing solar electrical on their fix and flips during the rehab process, getting a wholesale price on the install, keeping the Arizona Solar Tax Credit for themselves (since they owned the property when it was installed), marking up the house by the retail install price (which they have no problem getting in this seller's market), and then using it as a selling point as the house is now energy efficient. 

Is there anyway to get started with a couple thousand dollars and no line of credit?

You should mix it up.You can't send the same card to the same recipient all the time.

I would get the money back as a credit.

I have 100k in savings but not much of a credit history, although my credit score is above 730.

if you are getting your CPA, you will need to take enough credits to get a masters anyway. you could take a bunch of simple classes just to get the credits, but i'm a strong proponent of learning something when you can. between those two, is the masters of accounting an MS, or an MBA with a concentration in accounting?

My lender suggested finding a co-signer but had no luck finding the right friend/family member with the right credit or willing to co-sign.

If this were you, you would........Assumptions: house under contractBuyers credit: not greatBuyer has equity in primary residence.Purchase price: $365kDownpayment: 10%Rehab: $50kARV: $600-$620kBuyer has a HML willing to do 10% down on this contract.

This is not a "cash out" situation but you don't have to fund the rehab.I'm doing things a little differently in that I'm getting a line of credit (from the 1st mortgage lender) to cash out my equity created.With commercial, it's BRRRR on steroids all at one location and, in many cases, it can be managed by professional management companies.

You are buying the house worth i.e. 120k and you are getting a 60k credit for taking the land, so you pay 60k at closing.I recommend everyone interested in the sub100 markets to spend a day in the shoes of a property manager in that area before pulling the trigger.
