I won't go into it much here since it'll be 10,000 words long, ha.

Just my two cents... especially since you can just re-use your VA loan when you move (granted you haven't spent your limit on it).

I've been thinking of creative ways to partner up as I think it's a great way to accelerate growth in my RE portfolio.

How do I re-negotiate an asking price for the 6-unit complex?  

Let me explain:I originally bought in Chandler in 2004 when RE markets were going up like crazy.

-- Of course I realize that we could make much, much more $ by keeping the propert(ies) and renting them out long term to tenants (and we have other properties that are, and will be rented out the traditional way), but we have a heart for entrepreneurs and RE investors and really want to help some young person be successful who otherwise might not have that opportunity.

Worst case scenario, find a transactional funding company (most hard money companies will do this as well) to lend you the money to close on your front end transaction before re-selling to your end buyer.Good luck Dustin!

I felt like I had my dreams crushed when my re agent told me it was unethical to wholesale and I should stay away! 

That's actually a great point to speak with a RE attorney.

You can learn, file, pay fees, get rejected, re-apply as many times as you want.Just because it doesn't appear complicated, doesn't mean its easy.
