Title basically describes my situation, but I want to get involved in real estate investing or wholesaling.

Details below on our properties and our financial situation.

We're on our second one and I can't express how different our stress level is with the new one.  

In my situation, I purchased my primary over 22 years ago and I assume I don't use that "purchase price". 

What I am looking for right now is a hard money lender that will do a cash out refi on this property because I have several deals in the works that I would like to close on.I am actually aware of a few lenders that can work within a leasehold situation, what is the current 'as is' value of the property?

Given your circumstances, the following advice and considerations apply:Benefit from low interest rates, no down payment required in most situations, and financing for up to four units when you take advantage of the VA loan.A thorough grasp of your budget should include the purchase price of the property as well as any possible maintenance expenses and other related expenses.

Then, reach out to a few of them to see about a consult on your situation.  

I think you need a new accoutant, or else your financial situation is more complicated..A STR to me is still a rental....The nature of flipping is that it will be part of your ordinary income. 

This depends on the lender's policies, the property value and your overall financial situation.
