Since I just purchased a home in GA, I don't have much capital available, but could possibly do up to 20k down on a buy and hold but I would rather keep my funds and look into hard money lenders or distressed properties that I could buy cash and sit on and do most of the rehab myself.

How can I get a contract with a $4bln fund?

Need help finding Hard Money - to fund the Purchase and Rehab. 

I'm considering crowd funding now if no good deals come up in the near future. 

We are also considering using the funds to buy some gold as a hedge.My understanding is that I can deduct 100% of the interest from Loan A, and Loan B as long as I keep the funds I received from Loan B separate from our personal funds and only use them for other investing activity, is that right?   

Otherwise the funds don't get released.  

You may ask; why do I need funding for such a small amount?

After looking for homes, she  decided to wait until she closes before looking for her new home in which she would be buying cash with the funds from her current home. 

The title is in my name but I've been paying on the loan which is in my uncle's name.I've got the funds together to pay off the loan with cash.

My wife, the breadwinner, would be funding it.
