What the concept you mentioned is talking about is leveraging equity to gain cash vs. selling essentially. 

What do you think of my essentially 7-word answer? 

This strategy helped a Phoenix investor rank higher in the “Group Stays” category.A/B testing is another essential step.

Essentially are you cash flow positive or negative each month?

I can understand how a wholesaler would find some deals (I've heard some podcasts about that, essentially they're hitting the pavement) but I wonder how "investors" and "realtors" find properties if they are not using MLS/Zillow/Redfin? 

However, if gaining expertise in these areas is essential for long-term success, I’m open to learning.I appreciate any insights you can share.

In other words, you will be taxed twice on the money that you do take out essentially. 

About a decade ago, my multifamily mentor partnered with a number of his students who essentially wholesaled apartment deals to their firm.

I Joined Jeromes Buying land and building homes program back in 2019Heres my opinion on my experience....First and foremost He offers two different programs. a 6 month program and a 12 month program.BOTH PROGRAMS ARE EXACTLY IDENTICAL THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS:You can choose to have the weekly mentoring by Jerome once a week for 6 months or 12 months on a zoom call and you can have access to a private networking group of real estate professionals whether that be (realtors, contractors, brokers, Private/Hard money lenders, loaning institutions, Surveyors, Engineers, Zoning Board members in different municipalities, pretty much anyone you would need to get a project completed) for either 6 months or 12 months.6 month program will run you $5,997 if you decide to pay all at onceor you can make a $2,300 payment every 2 months totaling $6,90012 month program will run you $9,997 if you decide to pay all at onceor you can make a $3,000 payment every 3 months totaling $12,000I decided to join the one year program and chose the payment option as i figured within 6-8 months i would have my 1st project completed therefor my last two payments would essentially be covered by the return on investment from that project.PROS:The group is really a family oriented space where you meet a vast variety of people from all types of background throughout the country and other countries that are doing business just like you.

With single family investing it's about finding properties at 50-75% of "retail prices" in a neighborhood and then renovating them to improve them to "force equity" and then refinancing to pull out cash - essentially a BRRRR.
