Scaling is not an overnight scenario unless of course you have a lot of liquid cash to go through. 

Seeing a $100-300 increase on a single unit is common in NJ.  

Is there an advantage to buying the exchange property as a cash sale in this scenario? 

House hacking is not only a phenomenal move for investors starting out, but it's a common strategy in expensive markets like Boston.

With all 3 mortgages in place it would have been a break even scenario.

they DONT  these guys are trainers there is huge money in it far more than they could make actually wholesaling .. think about it the amount of properties that can be wholesaled is quite small actually very very narrow real estate nicheThe amount of dreamers who want to  make money wholesaling and then buy rentals then retire ( this is a common theme among those who start the wholesaling gig). 

Does anyone have any input on why this may not work, as it seems to not be a common thing for the banks to enforce.- I could be successful with foreclosure and end up owning the property- Since the note has reached maturity, it cannot be made to perform again by the borrower where I am stuck with it for years.

For instance my 90 lot subdivision at one point I had 90 legal descriptions and parcels on one master deed.. as I sold them off we just deeded them out separately.. its super common especially in older platted cities were lots might have been small like 25 X 100 and someone bought 3 of them and then built one home on all three.. some places they force merge them others you can go back and recreate the Old lots of record.. there is millions upon millions made by those that know how to find shadow plats and bring to life underlying parcels.

Just having a hard time seeing those 10 yr numbers based on each scenario.
