It is flexible though, in that I can roll it into any IRA at any time.

I use strict / flexible cancellation policy.

These lenders often have more flexibility with underwriting and may not require traditional income documentation.

Your best bet is to find and contact all of the top local wholesalers and go to work for one of them and see what they do right and wrong and see if it's even a business you like.

Everyone will tell you it’s great to get started early, or you can just move after a year, but in the current environment in our region the rent your property will generate after you move out will likely be less than your mortgage, if you are tied to the area and feel confident you want to stay in whatever property you buy for 3-5 years go for it, if you want flexibility rent and throw that money into and index fund. 

I know it's not as flexible as a HELOC but as long as your deal flow is good and the tenants are paying the mortgage you won't come out of pocket for it. 

@Chris Agun - I love the flexibility that a HELOC provides. 

Flexibility in Loan Terms: Josh offered a unique hybrid product that let my friend lock in a portion at a fixed rate while leaving the rest variable.

12 or 24 Month Bank Statement is probably the best bet.

I have some flexibility but rely heavily on my team for admin work and the day-to-day operations of property management.
