Usually in the beginning i was doing bare minimum pretty much to get then rented out which realistically most of them have payed for themselves.

Several years ago, I barely had money for food when starting out, let alone to wholesale.

Think of it this way:Snag a house in the hottest market in the country --> pain to finance (HML or otherwise) ---> can't/barely afford payments ---> try to hurry the fix n' flip process ---> make rookie mistakes under pressure ---> waste time, money and resources.Either your mentor is ripping you off OR you did not understand his system by asking the right questions.

I made a nice living for years buying and selling bare land.. no cash flow but no tenants to bug you either.. and less competition from others so we got some pretty nice returns on those deals. 

@Kash Jawed - barely even 2% price growth is just my research, but vacancy rates have gone down quite a bit ..

What is the bare minimum insurance coverages you would recommend during the building of a new home? 

I was shown two water tanks that were installed in outside sheds (with no insulation), with just a little electric heater running to keep it barely from freezing. 

I rushed into these deal and as a result the numbers barely work.

Take photos of your views and surrounding trees before winter comes and everything is bare.
