I'll keep ya'll posted...I think you’ve missed the whole point of the process.

Over the whole year we have had higher listings than the previous year (the last several years have had lower and lower inventory each year).

Entering the real estate market with $10,000 is not only possible–but it can be achieved through innovative investment avenues like FRACTIONAL Real Estate investing or investing in TAX LIENS - research these two options. 

Maybe i should find me a good old fashioned whole saler - (more fix and refi/rent or fix and flip) in that realm however.  

This would be ideal in terms of cash flow (after a few years) and equity appreciation since you'd be achieving tremendous returns on limited equity in the form of appreciation, principal paydown and tax benefits aside from only cash flow. 

That's the whole crux to solar and wind, we need a far better energy storage system than batteries.

I'm looking to whole sale now in the Los Lunas area 

My exit strategy is to hold the home 2-5 years and to purchase another home with the new equity I would have achieved by renting the bottom portion and with market appreciation.

I am in the research phase and not in a huge rush, but some great points ,advice, and knowledge in this thread so as a whole, THANK YOU! 

But before this purchase I informed well, and I found a lot of useful information here: https://www.a1autotransport.com/auto-transport-financing/ related to shipping, how the whole process is going, etc.
