As another poster mentioned, it’s just another floating currency.Maybe I should advertise a business using blockchain bitcoin machine learning with AI based on crypto currency.

@Tyler Herman  hit the nail on the head.. rising tide floats all boats... but I can tell after a 40 plus year of lending to flippers and landlords.. there are lots of failure out there. 

If you absolutely must quit, my suggestion would be to draw up a business plan showing what you are looking to do and then float it around to relatives / friends who do have W2 income and see if someone will co-sign with you (you may need to throw them some money, but would be worth it).

I've looked up a lot of information, but there are still a few questions that are floating around in my head.1.

Can’t solve for one variable with too many other floating variables.Wow that reminds me of multivariable calculus...Anyway, stick to your principles.

Assuming you can float the upfront cost.The only other way is to reduce your interest rate, but rates have gone up recently so I doubt you'll be able to lower them that much currently.

The tide is floating all boats... including Tertiary markets (Yakima, Spokane).

The buyers in trouble are the ones using short term debt or floating rate debt to make cash flow happen paying too low of a cap rate going in.

On the other hand if you're a REIT and float bonds at 1.75% to finance your deals you can buy things that you wouldn't if you were borrowing ten year money at 4.5 - 5%.

Or does the idea of wholesaling float your boat?
