Any legitimate lender will always pull credit, it is a way to measure if you can pay debt back, be careful there are many scammers out there. Quick tip never give money to a lender before closing (except for appraisal.

I may front a contractor some money to start (never cash) from there I only pay him for work completed (need pictures for proof). I have seen investors get scammed by contractors too many times!

Best way is to use Propstream (great investor tool) you can pull foreclosure lists from any where and they have a skip trace service to get the numbers, much cheaper than buying recycled lists!

With asset based investment loans, we don't care what your job is, no tax returns, just need asset statements showing you have cash to close.

There are many investors out there with capital and no deals, start networking and build up that database, find a good deal and do a joint venture. That's how I got my first deal done.
