Is this possible?

Just make sure you are as efficient and economical as possible.

My retirement account is a Florida state retirement fund (so, I would have to quit my current job and possibly pay taxes and applicable penalties on the 70k and, there is a 3 month waiting period once employment is terminated).  

I am glad to hear there are some possibilities available. 

Another person on BP that you might want to connect with is @Reed Goossens....his niche is assisting foreign investors investing in the U.S. and he could possibly be a resource for you on the issues you deal with as a foreign investor.  

My name is Will & i'm just trying to gather as much info on wholesaleing as possible before I jump right in.

I am trying to learn as much as possible, because I know evictions can cost a lot of money if handled incorrectly and be crushing to the investor.

We have been using creative financing options to this point in order to maximize opportunities and due to limited financial resources of our own.We have what seems to be a great opportunity to buy a triplex in Salem, Ohio via seller financing; (my husband and I analyzed the numbers, taking into account cap ex, possible vacancy, management, etc. and it is a great opportunity numbers-wise.) 

I keep thinking, why would he help me, it would mean there would be one more person in the Houston area that he would have to worry about possibly taking a deal from him.  

Though I still can't see how anyone could possibly pass up such an amazing opportunity as this.
