I have about 3k in Stocks I could sell to help pay for this place and I have about 10k in equity in my house I could use if I absolutely needed to.

Keep in mind, each mortgage payment that you (and your tenant(s)) make is also paying down the balance of the note so you are getting wealthier in equity and not just off of the cash flow!

Cash flow is pertinent but long term wealth is more easily found in equity.

But if you had 20k in equity after 6 months, that is the equivalent of decades of cash flow on a house like this. 

Still looking for a property that has the ability to cash flow along with some built in equity to combat against future decline in property prices, which according to HAR.com latest press release it's already happening.

I have several off market opportunities with 45 - 70 in equity, what would be the best way to approach these deals wholesale or buy, rehab and flip.

I am hoping to find a diamond in the rough that needs some repairs, hopefully resulting in some built in equity. 

A market correction doesn't scare me in the slightest because I invest correctly from day one, with built in equity and cashflow so that I can easily survive during the down years, and thrive during the up years. 

I have begun real estate investing primarily in equity or preferred equity.  

They usually come with built in equity even after repairs.
