The big wholesaling shops in our states are spending their own resources to actively lobby for wholesaling to prevent it from being banned.   

With a budget of $130k I would make sure that you still have at least 6 months of reserves after the purchase.I would also be careful in certain areas where the cash-flow looks too good to be true..

Is that true ?

College students may appreciate a quiet study area or a place to visit with guests while their roommate studies in the apartment.Maybe there's a need for a coffee shop or other small business that needs very little room but also provides a service your tenants would be interested in?

(We settled anyways because the settlement was cheaper than what my attorney bills would have been to defend against this absurd suit, so I didn't test the true strength of the LLC)

It will require fabrication but you can negotiate that as well.There are a couple of shops that sell standard round over edge granite slabs, 25"x96" prefab, tier 1 for $98 each.

I talk a lot about REI Nation and how they've been my fantastic partner over the past year - they are a one-stop-shop and have helped me through some challenging situations.

That may be true, but don't make those decisions before sitting down with her as a family and showing her all of the properties, what they make, what their liabilities are, what their values are, and where they are.

What you are asking for is called venue shopping.
