Cost per lead (CPL) is crucial—it shows how much you're paying to get a potential seller or buyer’s info, and you want this as low as possible without sacrificing quality.

For example I can gut a basic bathroom paying $3800 labor and I buy materials.

If you’re leaning toward selling your share, offering seller financing could definitely attract a wider pool of buyers while keeping the deal intact. 

I would like to think it is worth it, and that I could run a business model that serves fewer customers really well rather than deliver basic services at scale.  

There are ways to get to the seller that don't violate the buyer / seller relationship.

But I find from personal experience and from my buyers' Airbnb experience that it's a bit of a hassle trying to get guests to rebook at the new listing.I don't know how strict Joshue Tree is at enforcement, but in Denver and Colorado Springs here, you could probably get away with an STR listing for three months without the license.

I wasn’t prepared to lose so much of my savings as carrying cost basically I paid for the tenants to live there for 3 months + my own living expenses in that time.

They get a faster and easier sale because buyers can imagine higher future rents.

I’ve been researching a lot about the basics, but I know there’s so much more to learn, especially from those who’ve been in the game for a while.I’d love to hear from experienced wholesalers about their journeys and any advice you have for a complete beginner like me!
