Wholesaling, for these professionals, is the byproduct of a successful real estate deal finding business, not usually the business. 

Purchase price: $282,000 Cash invested: $120,000 STR buy and hold with renovation for value add.

In many areas, there simply weren’t enough existing homes for buyers, which created a big opportunity for homebuilders.

I have enough liquid money for the down payment for the hard money lender, but that'll leave me with zero cash for closing costs, realtor fees, etc.

You'll find most HMLs will use lower operating expense margin when they underwrite a DSCR loan as they usually only factor in taxes and insurance. 

Purchase price: $73,000 Cash invested: $25,000 Current market rent $1295 vs $1300 for Section 8.

@Christian Rodriguez  Typically there aren't any restrictions on how you want to use your cash once the Heloc has closed. 

Those that own it can be harder to sell as the cash flow from the business will cover the debt service for the business, but not for the real estate.Example: I had a very high-end assisted living facility on the market.
