Good wholesalers will price deals well, meat on the bone for you.

So more Roth for way less in taxable income incurred. doing this is easiest in a Solo 401k if you qualify but can also be done using a checkbook IRA as well. check out this post that @Dmitriy Fomichenko made explaining this concept.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1223601-how-t... 

@Tristan Kelly hope this goes well for you!

Especially about validating information. 

That said, I’d encourage you to take a look at Memphis, TN as well.

I was going over his financial information and saw that the guy was making over $50,000 a month and asked him what he did.

That part went well.

Machias Savings Bank as well.

I'll also give them a list of "must haves" based on comps as well (for example oversized kitchen island, dedicated powder room, minimum 48" hallways, large master closet, lots of windows for natural light, gas fireplace, minimum 10' ceiling in great room, consideration of sun exposure, etc).Also if you give a good architect your budget (for example I need to be able to build this for under $350/SF) then they will design something to fit that budget. 

Hey @Jules Aton, well some of the best ones out there are from Lovesac.
