There have been half-a-dozen threads on BP in the past couple of years about purchasing homes where there has been violence and death (murder, suicide).Hopefully a service company was called in back in 2011 to preform a clean-up ... otherwise   blood stains that set and aged are not going be easy to clean.

Those are investment suicide. 

I know they perform other wise I would not be giving them millions of dollars and being involved with something that becomes a train wreck and social media suicide..

So I got to fly over to Honolulu right along the Molokai coast and do the koko head approach which is  a real dive bomber they vector you over mid field and out to the north west at 4k then bring you back in to land...

I want to start pumping out a large number of offers every day without looking at the properties" Career limiting/Financial suicide IMHO

In any event, I wouldn't recommend using a HML on your first property.Forth, "the past few months" of education isn't near enough to start...and the mind set of "just start and learn along the way" will lead you to financial suicide...based on where I believe you are right now.There are some very specific things you must learn first:1 - How to analyze markets, from a Financial standpoint...not from a real estate agent or homeowners.2 - Learn more than one strategy.3 - Have a Plan based on a set of personal financial goals, laid out step by step, incorporating the market analysis and the strategies in each step of the plan. 

A sub2 for anything other than a quick flip is suicidal. 

Fasted way to fail completely and utterly is to going into a RE deal without substantial cash reserves.There was a day when lenders would lend based on equity but that ship sailed and Sank into the striaght of San Juan De Fuca.... its suicide as a lender to do thatThere is one Hard money lender on this site that advertises no money down and I think that is maybe were your getting your thought of paying up front.. this is always a very poor business model in most professional lenders mind.. they just make money on the up front fee and funding deals that are few and far between.

This is how I will personally re-roof all my properties moving forward, plus some roof-deck insulation (with increasing insulation requirements, it'll be hard to meet code without it in the near-future).When done properly, a metal roof will be absolutely bomber, and the best bang for your buck!

. - you are committing business suicide to rent it out.
