I have also been know to be a resource to some of my wholesaling buddies that have needed a loan for EMD or even funding for a double close. 

You could find (with good amount of work) a new construction build for under 200k using cash and source a good deal…bring in a capital partner with $190k…you add $10k of your own money and get 5% equity + 5% equity for sourcing the deal for a total of 10%.

HURDLES:*About $230k in student loan debt.

**Tax and Term-Free Loans**Are you leveraging the advantage of tax-free loans against your policy’s cash value, with the added benefit of no mandatory repayment terms?

BUT when you're doing an arbitrage you're just getting cash flow and you're missing out on the equity and tax benefits

Since I will be using a VA loan again, I'll need to stay in the new home for one year.My current home will only rent for about $3500 a month so I'll be losing several hundred dollars a month due to the mortgage being higher. 

Can the tenant get a loan or will it be a rent to own/seller finance situation? 

It was a long term equity play and not a cash flow investment.

Maybe personal loan from a bank or credit union, friends and family.

You get better interest rates/loan terms.
