After doing a little more research it seems that portfolio lenders are my best bet for my situation at this point.I am new to all this, can anyone tell me how I can find portfolio lenders in my area and how can I distinguish between a regular lender and portfolio?

@Tim Healey  I've got an amazing contact for you, but can't promote it in the forum.

Either way, a homicide and then apparently a regular death sometime after happened in the house. 

There are also a lot of gurus on here posing as regular investors that speak of their system and their deals where they have made a killing.

capital gains vs. self employment/regular income2- Would the income of the sale of the flip be looked at holistically along with the expenses of my other rental properties?

Times require changes & education for all of us on a very regular basis.

Then go with a commercial loan because you don't qualify for a regular, conventional loan and you write off everything you can to save taxes and because you have too many financed properties.Hope that helps.Stephanie

This coverage is more common on properties that can't be insured in the regular market (ie. bad condtion, vacant, etc.).  

Beginning of meeting people promote there deals looking for partners, money, wholesale deals etc.Good Luck.  

But the more I look into it I realize I can't get a regular mortgage.
