Then there's vehicle title loans at your bank or CU and selling surplus stuff.

Do you at least have enough parking spots for 4 vehicles comfortably?

Offer free moving services if you have the vehicle for it.

I'm interested in the REI/flipping/rentals as an investment vehicle (hence why I'm on this site) but I'm not sure this is the way to get into it.

A 1031 exchange sounds like a particularly tax advantaged vehicle for expanding a portfolio. 

That was my reason and my mission and purpose.It appears the deal looks pretty good, and if you are looking for financial freedom, multifamily is an easier vehicle than SFH to achieve freedom.  

Even if you have the cash to purchase lets say a 5000 dollar vehicle, put the cash in a savings account at the bank and then ask that same bank for a loan explaining that you are trying to build credit.  

Once out of debt (I'm shooting for 9/2018) I want to then invest all my income into real estate and other financial vehicles possibly some flips or condo conversions outside of my buy and hold strategy.  

I had one prospective partner started to become a flake "would not even tell me the vehicle he was driving before and canceled the show up" I will not except direct request by a investor who is interested in properties in western Washington.

You might think about refinancing a vehicle.
