One just uses the tried and true wholesaling methods and each geographical area will have its unique ways of doing this.With a lot of land deals starting with tax sales. this is common in CA AZ etc etc. currently I am funding deals in WA ID MT CO AZ TX FLA and then some other states.

Hopefully, I'm wrong but if not take into account for the families "house-hacking", it's an extreme and unpleasant sacrifice with a majority likely not happy with it.

The current owners have extremely low occupancy and are open to selling.

Over the last (3) years I have seen some extreme cases of expedited equity where an investor buys an older home or "Ugly Inventory" and then bats clean up on the ARV in 12 months.To give you an example I helped an investor refinance her home in 2023 pull cash out to buy a $65K home all cash.

We have a savings account where we split up into different buckets (from our w2 and passive income) and one bucket is for real estate and when we have enough to acquire another asset we will consider it.I am not a fan of borrowing 100% of the transaction costs including closing costs as it will be extremely difficult to make money many times on those types of deals.

Based on the graphic presentation of that ad, it shows Robert Kiyosaki, so I thought it would be great to attend this free event and meet him (similar meet the author events are very common here in NYC, so I didn't give it a second thought).

Cash for keys is common, and frequently the part that keeps tenants from moving forward is not having an affordable place to go to.

I think development is getting more and more common since we're so undersupplied in housing. 

It is extremely difficult for your tax preparer to know if what you give them is right without a balance sheet unless they dig into each transaction which will be very costly.

My advice is good advice, but it's common that most people new to wholesaling still think they are going to make a mil in a year and only want to hear the good stuff.
