I am in the process of buying my second rental as a cash purchase (i lack income proof to leverage) and I have just enough for the offer I made and can either 1 - take on a partner for 10k (friend or family) which would give more breathing space for repairs but I would be giving up equity, 2 - I can take cash advances from credit cards as I need, it just makes things more tight and pressured. has anyone had this dilemma and what would you do?

I'm trying to filter out properties that may be too high in value.

They will filter for things that those sites will not.At 86k, it could absolutely be a wholesale deal, especially if it's turnkey.  

Do I reach out to all of them or filter them somehow?

It really just comes down to just taking action and filtering through the tire kickers. 

Besides, we have a child who is very allergic to pollen and has breathing problems so mold in the house would make him sick.

When changing filters (in the lease as well) this can be checked out.

I live and breathe the shortsale.

Let me argue with my own post to save a lot of peoples breath. . .
