Understanding Cash Flow vs Appreciation was big for me and I realized I was getting a single perspective from an agent a few years ago.

Not to argue, just sharing my perspective: brand new wholesaler doesn't need to close 10 deals/mo.

They usually aren't any good at vetting a seller financed transaction and representing your interests from a legal perspective.  

Installment sale in particular might be helpful from a tax perspective depending on your situation.

There are so many perspectives. 

I am reading several books that seem to be popular/recommended - of course, I believe they were written by the creator of this website, so naturally they would be recommended by this website - and I am trying to decipher whether they are universal principles or things that worked at that particular time for that particular individual.As far as @Henry Clark 's suggestion that I narrow my focus to exactly what I can do now - I appreciate that perspective and will not bang my head against the wall about this topic.

It was great to read everyone's perspective on the situation.

From an appreciation perspective, over the long-term I don't think one will necessarily outperform the other by a significant margin.

I'm very interested to hear everyones perspective on this.
