There is no doubt in my mind that the KEY to success is living below your means early in your adult life - Delay gratification for a few years to accumulate the investment dollars and let those dollars start working for you EARLY - a client of mine (and Biggerpockets member - although I am not going to call him out here) is the perfect example - He is buying houses at a pretty rapid pace now and makes a pile of money - In fact, he is only a couple of years away (at 29) from quitting the day job to spend the majority of his remaining time on earth hiking and traveling- How did he do it?

Perfectly legit either way.When you get a house under contract and subsequently post pictures of said house on CL (or FB or anywhere else) you're not selling the house, you're selling the rights to the contract.You don't need a license to do that.

The only time we have seen buying them at par or higher is California 1st liens with perfect payment histories.

When talking with other wholesalers and investors are perfect opportunities to find out what do they have and what are they looking for.

Your perfect client will soon realize they don't appreciate the late night parties, police sirens, gang activities of the neighbors, oh and let's not forget the frequent street wondering of toddlers who were exploring the city at 1am because mom and dad (actually dad is usually out of the picture) are gang bangin or strung out on meth and Coke.

She ended up being the perfect fit. 

Thanks for the info..You are not late all ..perfect timing...

We are currently renting and would ideally like to buy a duplex or triplex and live in one of the units, but would like to know our options if we can't get the leases to line up perfectly again.

He was a leased tenant so this was a perfect solution.

If you want that perfect house hack, you should look in different areas.
