Financing an REO for Flip - Need advice

Del Kelley

Posted

I'm looking at vacant houses, but what I've noticed is that there is more REO inventory than vacant houses.

REO brokers will not let me tie up a property if they know that I'm going to try to flip it. They want to know that I can close on my own. So I need to have ready financing available. I live in Jacksonville, Florida (really Saint Augustine). Any ideas on getting some quick financing for a property.

P.S. I have a good credit score and good income, but the wife doesn't want to be involved with being her being on a loan with me. She doesn't even want me to put any binder money down, but I'm working on her to get at least binder money.
