But during the pandemic 218 was the the number 1 cash transaction zip and it has double the transactions of #2. i don't think its just indy though.

Just enough so I know and can reconcile my books later.

Generally what I see is Hubby is handyman and Wife does books and leasing..

Overall, it seems like the experience will be mostly wholesaling, with a little bit of other types of RE transactions, until I get more experience.Overall, it seems like they started wholesaling years ago, but now do a little bit of everything. 

Hi Joe,I think going with a LOC is going to provide you with more flexibility than going through the process of obtaining financing for a purchase transaction.

@Claude Diehl,You don't need a CPA or tax expert here; this is a straightforward transaction.

many houses in the midwest, for example, are very old and need major rehabs.i personally think out of state investing is more difficult than advertised, and much more difficult in the current investing environment, with: prices high; interest rates high; tremendous demand for inventory, by both investors and retail buyers; and good PMs, contractors, etc. booked up.here's a really thoughtful thread with the experience of another CA investor and lots of different responses:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1215726-break...and here are some threads about how it can very easily go wrong:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1159104-overl...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/963/topics/1195280-expe...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1160450-run-i...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...finally, you also said you "don't have a lot of money to start with." 

I use HML for all transactions

Plus if you have good systems in place, you should be spending much less time on each booking than what your cleaner spends cleaning it. 

Take a copy of the lease, payment history and if you have one your receipt book.
