@Will B.That's a tough one. 

Can you use Bank Statements to prove income?

Also the distance between Breck and the Caribbean is kinda tough. 

Most people that are successfully flipping have a flipping business with either employees on staff or enough work lined up to keep a GC happy for 6 months to a year.Its a tough business to make money in when you are doing one project at a time from a distance. 

So if you used the $100k from your refi to buy an investment property, then 20% of the new mortgage interest becomes deductible on Schedule E against the investment property.Interest tracing is basically a concept used to prove that the $100k was indeed used as a down payment on that property and not for your new Ferrari.

and they will offer up a different suggestion on what you can provide.Option 2 is to think about what else proves your existence... in my mind, previous tax returns certainly do that.  

I've already reached out to 85 Design but looking for more, preferably a company familiar with La Mesa since the city can be especially tough with permits, etc. 

I've tried to secure a second job, but the job market here is really tough and many of my friends have lost their jobs and been searching for up to a year in several different career fields (CO).

We were able to work with the sellers since they were going through tough times and wanted to get out of the house quickly.

I’m a very direct but also analytical person so i be sure to ask all the tough questions up front because i don’t like bad surprises.
