Grateful Newbie upon finding BP

[Margaret Clayton]

Hello One And All, What a phenomenal site, so grateful to have found BP. Short history: I am from a background of contractors and I followed the pathway made. I also owned a real estate office. We developed land also. (That's where I have the most fun). However I was in a car accident 20 +\- years ago and finally I am ready to get back to what I love. Things have changed a lot. My credit was tanked and I have little money to invest. But I know it's possible to use OPM. So I am desperately devouring your writings, books and forums. Excited to be among such ambitious fellow real estate lovers. Constantly looking for the right deal. I do have a question: We have a home with approximately 40,000 equity. Want to use it to get going. What is the best way to get the most $ or leverage from this home to get back going? Margaret Clayton
