I currently have 6 rentals with 3 more set to close here in a few weeks. these are "easy" to manage with my full time job bc I typically buy turn key rentals but I really want to focus all my time and attention into wholesaling and flipping. however, my contract with the army does not run out for another 20 months..

.- I have done this with commercial lenders, but I had to have the down payment first, and then the seller 2nd mortgaged essentially reimbursed me.- The bank will use the lower of the appraisal or purchase price for their loan.
