The cash flow on hand when you buy?

For tax purposes, does anybody have an idea of what this would look like as I would be living in one unit, renting one-unit long term, and then short-term renting one unit to maximize cash flow and write offs against my W2. 

This is because at the current rates, a high LTV property (which is required to extract rehab costs) bleed cash. 

@Noel Dixon The most overlooked thing I see when people talk about assumable mortgages is that, if you can get approved by the lender holding the mortgage, you will need to bring the difference between the loan and purchase price in cash.

Anyway I dont have a dog in the cash flow hunt.

How could he have cash and not close?

We are currently living in a home that my parent's paid for in cash.

You should consider an All-In-One loan for this (I see your comment about the cash out refi).
