Best use of time?
I am ready to quit my full time job. I have a part time weekend job that can support me and have about $10,000 to spend on marketing for the next 5 months. My goal is to flip as well as wholesale when i dont have the resource for rehabs. What is the best use of my time if i would like to become a full time investor? I am in the middle of my first direct mail campaign and do not get enough phone calls to outsource screening or to fill my day. As of now i plan on going to the probate court once a week and door knocking leads that are within a 5 mile radius of my house.

Have you already been making money flipping homes or is this a new venture for you?
If this is new the best use of your time is likely going to be staying at your job and transitioning into this.
Folks who jump in with both feet to something new run a high failure risk. I think it is more prudent to prove out the concept first.
