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? 

What would you do in my shoes  If you are talking about $90k profit before transfers in Cumberland...without question id sell it instead of holding it. 

@Gregory WhitmyerGregory - Awesome question(s)!

I know that I want to focus on LER with the brrr strategy. now my questions are:1. where to start?

Great question. 

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?

Happy to connect and answer any questions you may have.

Unfortunately MF might be out of the question.

Lauren Lauren, there are hundreds of syndications (and crowdfunding deals which are essentially the same as syndications but are available on the Internet) available each year.

They usually give you the first 30 minutes for free so you can explain your case and ask questions.
