I'm looking to change my life towards financial freedom and get away from the 9-5 mentality.

Please keep me updated on how you push forward with your path toward financial success. 

I am currently looking for investors that consider asset based lending to fund real estate deals in my city.

I'm independent, no debt, no student loans, very low tuition (with financial aid grants), rent of $500 per month, credit score above 750 and a small chunk of change saved up in the amount of $15,000. 

Looking to increase my knowledge in real estate to for both personal and financial gain.

Personal loan against vehicle or other asset 

I've been in the Air Force for the past 10 years and I'm hoping to use this as a means to becoming financially independent by the time I retire in another ten years so that I can focus on what makes me happy rather than what pays the bills.I am currently living in the Richmond, VA area, where I own a home that I will be renting out in another year or so when I leave here.If anyone has any advice, I am all ears and I look forward to participating in these forums!

Its true larger investors favor these assets but that has to do with size and also that most of these folks tend to like to go with the herd, no one ever got fired for buying IBM at least not without a lot of company. 

Your financials are too tight to not have predictable cash flows on this property.You also could lose the home sale exclusion if you convert your former residence to a rental.  

My analysis suggests your Offer shouldn't be any more than $101k.Because you DO have a good deposit, check with Asset-based (commercial loan?)
