@Donnie Jones I agree with Jonathan and Nathan, its definitely a challenge to start off wholesaling and takes a lot of grit and consistency to see success but not impossible.

My wife makes around $180k consistently from her job alone.

Every month the one water bill comes in consistently $40 higher than the other unit.

No matter what way you choose to get started, if you are consistent and dedicate time regularly, you will be set up for success for years to come.

Since you retain control of your money, how does one consistently maintain 30-50% cash on cash return? 

Focus and consistency are going to be your best friends.Also, I wouldn't tackle buy-and-holds right now unless you currently have a high cash flow revenue stream in place.

It's my understanding the Gator Method consists of providing short term loans to cover other investor's earnest money deposits.

Any unit rented at a level <=80% AMI is considered to be a “Mission Driven” naturally affordable unit.For example, say you’re buying a 10-unit property consisting entirely of 2-bedroom units in an area where the 80% AMI (Mission Driven) rent cutoff for 2-bedroom unit types is $2500.

I have tons of clients with 3/4 units that also hit similar returns consistently after the first year or two.  

Why ask: Access to consistent support after meetings can make a huge difference in your progress.
