And I try to be supportive of anyone that's attempting to build a portfolio.

However, you can take the cash advance and have it "seasoned", I believe the magic number is at least 2 months in your bank account at least if you're attempting to get a mortgage using credit card fund as your down payment, so there's no further prying question.

I have attempted to go the seller financing route, but every seller has declined that option.

@Henry Clark BP has a site in development that I think will attempt to do what you describe.

However, when I attempted to contact her employer, she only provided an email address.

Hello,I am attempting to purchase an investment property in a location that I do not live in or work in.

Hello all,      A local landlord in my area has offered me an owner-financed portfolio and I am attempting to decide on moving forward with or running and would love your thoughts. 

I attempted to ask to defer payments until it is rented but the seller will only offer interest only payment at 7%. 

A direct attempt at seller financing will result in taxes being recognized for the value of the carryback note (making the exchange less efficient).

Many are finding that when they attempt to rent the home the following year they may have to cover a portion of the previous home's mortgage as the rent won't quite cover the full payment.
