Introduce yourself to people who are actually doing what you want to do every day as opposed to creating videos and selling educational materials. 

BUY in a better area if you want Detroit all these cities have better areas and outcomes will no doubt be superior over time as opposed to taking on these risks.Yeah just cant beat the deal.  

-At the end of the day, if it were me and I was a wholesaler (as opposed to a broker/agent) in this scenario, I would say that "as a courtesy", you can try to help and see if you can sell it to someone else off market, but you should not be expected to do a due diligence for the buyer, that's their responsibility, and you said from the beginning that you are not knowledgeable on land. 

Either way, i always decide to buy additional properties as opposed to developing what i have, because I’ll continue having that and can do what i please in the future. 

Example: "If I was to use you for the next ____ projects, would you be opposed to taking 20% off materials?" 

I would also invest in a handful of Syndications that are steady and boring as opposed to the flashy ones.

That's about what I'll get in the stock market plus I'll be liquid (as opposed to underwater the first couple of years) and it's just push button. 

Definitely what I was thinking and sounds like it can be done. 5.25-% rate on a 1.2$ house is definitely more appealing and opens doors up as opposed to 6.7+ rates.  

@Kevin Collins I apologize; my response came out a little rough around the edges and I assume that you certainly have done your homework prior too.... but that is a bit of my point... nothing will change when you go and work with a realtor and find investment properties yourself... figuring out what the property is worth IS PART OF THE ANALYSIS (if that's important to you) and because of this it is no different than other than you should now be verifying what the realtor will tell you it's worth as opposed to what the turnkey is telling you. 

Less transparency generally hurts consumers as opposed to helping them.
