More to the point regarding wholesaling.  Even if I find a property what would keep my buyer from going direct once I give them the particulars about the property?

OK  I have one question that I am kind of lost on.

Isn't wholesaling a lot like being an agent/broker without the license?

Hi Joe!

Thanks.  Actually we both thought that making $2500 wouldn't be that hard.

Sorry, just to be clear the consulting is regarding setting up medical practices.  Not real estate.

Hi David and Joel!

Yes, I have a job doing consulting so I really set my own hours.

Joel: She wants to see me get in and out of a deal with at least a 25% return within 6 months to a year. I know - 25% ROI !!! Sounds great but the amount is so small I would hope t be able to do that at least. BTW What is small business notes buying at a discount?

Sounds good so far.

I'm getting the idea.  Have a more solid goal than just investing.  Be more specific is what I'm hearing. 

I like the feedback regarding seller financing.

The advice about the wife is off the mark.  She is extremely supportive but has a career of her own.

I'm reaching out to you all for your best advice on what to focus on.  I've got the time and can put in the effort.  I just need to show her that there will be results.

My wife and I have gotten along beautifully for 30 years.  This just doesn't really interest her the way it does me. (Unless it makes money of course.  LOL )

Thanks Randy.  What would you put on the signs or in the fliers?

So here's my challenge.  I want to start investing in RE but my wife isn't so thrilled.  She says I can have $10K to start out with.  If I can make some money using that she says I can have more.  (Guess who pays the bills?)

So, I said to her, "How do you expect me to do anything with that?"

She says, "You're always on that Bigger Pockets website.  Why not ask them?"

So here I am.

What do you all think?  She says I have to do this alone.  No cheating with Clubs, partnering up, etc.

Would you go for a mobile home?  Vacant land?  Can you make any money with $10K?
