Then it was sort of rinse and repeat.I did notice that was a popular starting point on a BP poll recently (renting out a place you already owned/lived in).It makes sense as you have the financing in place, the transaction complete, plus you have screened the area and the property, know all the maintenance and routines, etc.So your first home may be your first investment property, too, eventually. 

Hey question if anyone has done this and knows the proper way to do it.Lets say you wholesale a deal to aninvestor who will be using some sort of traditional financing.  

Maybe you guys knew this already, but I just wanted to attempt to add some value in some sort of way.

Would I just add those costs in with any repairs and include some sort of statement with my tax return?

These are the sort of things you need to check BEFORE putting in an Offer.

@Mark S.Yeah the nature of your business sort of makes it fall into a grey area.  

There is no problem with mold, smell or anything of that sort.

There is a good chance they have done a conversion of some sort.

How do I evaluate/price my value to this sort of deal?

You'll get all sorts of mail saying you are prequalified for loans, credit cards, etc.
