I’d agree with the hard money loan idea. Just make sure you invest conservatively, i.e., good loan-to-value ratio of 70% or less, ALL the paperwork done right, and into a property you wouldn’t mind owning. Because there’s a good chance you will. But if your LTV ratio is low enough, you are getting it at a good discount.
Also, only 1st trust deeds; avoid 2d TDs.
