How would I approach this?

So, that was the skinny - now...I feel I'm on the right track for saving for a downpayment n closing costs...I have been doing my research as to which strategies I wanna approach and execute on....I guess now that things seem to be going smooth and it's just a matter of time/saving til I can get my start in REI....that...I'm worried when I actually have the money for the downpayment and I go to vet lenders, that the lenders are going to deny me due to the industry that I legally make my living in.

As we approach “retirement” from my day job in 15-20 years, we will begin paying off the older mortgages on the rentals.

This being my 2nd long-distance rental and I had totally no idea how to approach it.

So what does everyone thing about this approach? 

My question is how to approach this new lender in California if its a possibility they are unaware of the mortgage?

Ive spent alot of time reading and researching how wholesaling works and i am approaching cking the point where i am ready to start do-ing rather than just reading.

I was recently approached about a potential seller financing deal, which I ultimately passed on, but have since then researched the topic and would like to prepare myself if the right opportunity / deal presents itself in the future.

The cleanest approach would be to satisfy the RMD with other IRA funds or sell the property so you will have the cash to satisfy the RMD. 

Id  like to approach or contact homeowner however I'm just not sure exactly how to go about it.
