I don't have the cash or credit to be a traditional RE investor.

I will warn you, we buy the trailers at really steep discounts, huge, under 20K, usually way under, so unless you can get a really nice one at a huge discount simply buying and selling as in a traditional wholesale may not be the route to go.

Also, keep in mind that negative cash flowing properties work against you with a traditional lender. 

I did rate shop, but really, none of the traditional lenders could match what I was trying to get.

If you are going to move in at some point anyway, why not just use traditional financing and do a live-in flip? 

I can leverage the cash value from now till the time I retire.Here's the logic behind this: Life Insurance Cash Value can generate 2 to 3 times the retirement income of money in traditional retirement assets.

@Anthony Dadlani this specific scenario might be only once every 5 years, however, I wouldn’t mind partnering with someone for a more traditional flipping strategy.

Q: On financing: I've heard on podcasts local lenders are better than traditional banks given your WellsFargos, Chases, etc usual have high loan balance requirements to lend.

You either redo all together or use beauty band traditions or diffident treatment on extended portion.

I have been looking there and the properties are much cheaper than the traditional sales.
