Just so I am able to buy a property there with a best possible cash flow.

If they are not passive and are in fact active members of the general partner structure, then each lender will look at their specific criteria such as:Do you have credit, net worth, and reserves to meet their underwriting criteria?

I did use them to pay one of my renovation guys during that same renovation as he wanted cash and didn't want to wait until closing.

Now I’m shifting my focus to retirement cash flow.

Hi @Rita SamaddarI recommend areas based on three things:Budget: Knowing your cash to close helps me suggest the best areas, especially if you're using a hard money loan.Rehab Level: Whether you prefer low or major rehab impacts the neighborhoods I'll recommend.Market Dynamics: Areas with minimal days on market are ideal, as they predict how quickly your property will sell post-rehab.In conclusion, start with how much you have to work with and the level of rehab you're comfortable with to find the best areas for fix and flip.

Let's say the home is listed at $500k for easy math and homes newly renovated are worth $800k. 

It raised a couple of questions in my mind about the risks of wholesaling, namely the implications in the event that you assign a contract and the buyer backs out.It seems to me that Paid at Assignment would both:Result in committed assignees, otherwise they would risk losing the money they paid the assignor, andProvide the assignor with a significant cash cushion against breach of contract if they cannot locate another buyer prior to closing, and ultimately decide to cancel the contract with the property owner.But this raises another question. 

Purchase price: $186,000 Cash invested: $70,000 Purchased this unit through creative strategy, (sub-to) current is an Airbnb in Baltimore.

I have the cash but obviously if I don’t have to put it down I’d rather not.

My current goal is to reach 8k/month in cash flow.
