@Shiloh Lundahl,This is an interesting question after your post yesterday. 

My question for this more regards to what would best way to structure this deal not so much as to if I can raise the money or not.

It’s better to start small and gain experience than to get stuck overanalyzing.Keep the questions coming!

.- It's not profitable for them to search for under-market priced houses, figure out repairs needed or what other problem is pushing the price down and do even more for a newbie investor that has analysis-paralysis and may never buy anything.Some questions you'll want to share the answers to with any agent you choose:1) Are you paying cash or getting a mortgage?

My question is: when wholesaling, after finding a great deal, do you need real proof of funds to the get the property under contact or is there a way to get it under contract, find a buyer and complete a double closing/assign the right to sell without actually having the cash for the property? 

"A second question is if I finance the car purchase can I also deduct the business use portion of the interest charged on the loan?"

Hi Chris, I see that your question received no answer.  

If R5 is an option, then I might have some areas I could look into.All of this leads to my two questions:1. any tips/advice on how to best transition between my current primary residence and a new one?

Keep crushing it, and feel free to reach out if you have questions—excited to see where your journey takes you.

Good question.
