I have often mentioned to my wife that it would be a great place to move to - for the exact same reasons that you mentioned!

The play is that rather than having to wait until the foreclosure process is completed, the investor can rent out the property (and earn a return - after rehabbing it, of course) during the process.

Yes, I am excited to see the opportunities that wholesaling will provide and can’t wait to make it happen.

Why mention the tenant will be responsible for appliance repair above ordinary wear-and-tear?

Should I wait until I have a little more breathing room before I purchase my investment property?

You may want to make an introduction between your CPA to those 2 colleagues.The CPA can go over their services and pricing to your colleagues.I partner with many people on real estate deals - It never gets to a discussion on whether they do their own tax return or hire a professional.If a partner mentions he will provide capital - does he provide the capital on a timely manner.If a partner mentions he will find deals - does he find many deals and provide an analysisIf a partner mentions he will manage a property - does he manage the property well(find tenants, collect rent, communicate with contractors, etc)

This has created a "shared driveway" with the neighbor making an ugly curb appeal, not to mention cutting their lot in half.

Just stating that waiting will also likely make the cost of what you want to buy go up if the last 98 years of real estate data provides the future direction.

Thank you once again and have a wonderful evening, I cannot wait to network and to help each other one way or another. 

If you are waiting on a repairman for those as well general repairs its going to hurt your profit and your appearance.
