I have found a flip deal that I am trying to put together in Florida and I attempted to start a discussion with the R/E agent, but quickly got back the reply of "show me the money." 

@Shari Lawson my goals are to build a better savings acct of liquid cash but ultimately to buy and hold once I have a nice cushion.

It makes it less likely for you to leave a deal and force the lender to liquidate the property.  

If so, the expenses will be deducted on Schedule E along with your rentals.Wholesaling, like flipping, is a business activity only once you have an initial property under contract.

Liquidity and net worth are important. 

You may learn that your stock portfolio can provide more liquidity/cash flow than you think.

As for how to get that information ahead of time, things may get much easier when the state court system moves to e-filing... 

. :)If anyone here CAN predict this with >70% accuracy, PM me immediately because you're taking over management of all my retirement accounts and other liquid assets.
