Pressure her to comply is your best and easiest method. 

I was renting out my own home so I had to do something fast and it was.I didn't even think about other methods and if in the future I am renting out a lower income home.

Also, when I eventually sell the property and am required to begin withdrawals at age 70 1/2,  wouldn't my withdrawals be taxed as ordinary income vs being taxed as a more favorable long term gain outside my IRA?

Please do not get excited to spend that $3k, study nothing down methods.  

I am open to discussing other methods of beginning in real estate investing besides wholesaling properties.

If your strictly looking for cash flow then I would leverage those funds into more of the BRRRR method so you could buy quite a few single families.

The cards were to be given to employees for deposits only (no withdrawals possible).  

I'm not saying it's a method for everyone, but sometimes if you cut off any other options other than doing it, that is the only way to get past the fear, the unknown, and the years that pass of not taking action.

It is also the basis of our fantastic capitalist nation.So give them some crumbs, such as the method you used to find the property.
