Lastly, if you are looking at the bigger picture, it may be wise to take a mortgage on your primary residence for additional tax benefits (since it's your primary residence.)

Some people are spending 10 to 20,000 a month or more to find motivated sellersBeing a transaction engineer and looking for other kinds of problems besides Wholesaling problems I think is wise to get startedMy favorite kind of problem for newbies I think is low equity, were you help the sore so I'm terms and make some money generally 3% on a lease option assignmentThe feeling I get from the OP is he thinks that one deal can make him "whole" and get him out of a difficult financial  situationA better plan is to get a job that pays the personal bills and borrow some capital to start a businessThe problem with Wholesaling as your only tool in your toolbox is it takes a long time for Marketing to kick in and many people don't want your offer so there's a lot of rejection in the beginningI like expired listings and talking to Sellers about other ways to sell their house besides cash@Cory Baker
