Take out an equity line of credit on the property that can be sides as the down payment for the primary residence.

I tried changing useful life to 1 year but it doesn't change the line to show as an in year expense.

Honestly, upgrading to a commercial-grade stackable setup like Speed Queen or Maytag might be your best bet.

Than I thought it was all the things that could go wrong in the flip, hidden gems like K&T hidden in the walls, shot main-lines, etc.....   

Is the property under a high tension power line or down wind from the horse rendering factory or on a main thoroughfare or some other obstruction that you wouldn't want to live near?

Leveraging a HELOC (home equity line of credit) could allow you to invest in multifamily without completely draining your savings.

I also have a $50k line of credit I can tap into when needed that will grow as I keep growing the business.Right now my rent is about $1700 where I've been staying for over a year, but really wanting to trade that for a mortgage and start building that equity.

The revenue and expense categories line up with your Schedule E which makes it a breeze to prepare for filing your taxes and I like the reporting features, too.

Good luck, you are a busy man with school, family and baseball.Likely your best bet is house hacking (if your partner and child are willing to share housing). 

I think my line of thought is correct.2nd and very few investors realize this.. but lets say you have a wholesale deal and your buying it for 100k and the wholesalers contract is 50k and there is a 50k assignment fee..
