Like @Darrin Carey said, we need more information before we can speak intelligently to your question. 

If everyone doing wholesale deals operated as intelligently and with as much integrity as you we would have no need for a regulated real estate market.

The forums will help with gathering knowledge to speak somewhat intelligently when looking for that CPA or EA.Try to find one quick man April 15th is coming and most tax preparers are probably in crunch time.

Finally, the lack of cheap financing is also a positive in that prices aren't artificially inflated by cheap debt and so you don't get bubbles that explode like you do in the US.All this means that there are opportunities for foreigners but they need to know what they're doing.

Rates have been artificially low for a long time and should be going up.

We have an artificial diamond plant and lots of bit coin companies making their way to the valley.

intelligent investor is pretty good

As many have stated, Hubzu is NOT an AUCTION site...they are a third party rep for sellers, who artificially set low "starting bids" to generate interest, then allow the seller to set a reserve that will NEVER be met, so they can cherry pick the best offer without any culpability to actually AUCTION the property....it's an offer generator for the sellers, but they're also hitting the sellers, because ALTISOURCE (Hubzu) manages the properties and is making money both ways, so they have no incentive to actually try to move the properties.

If you are good at finding them you can write your own ticket.So, if someone with reasonable intelligence and confidence does this full time with $1k per month investment in marketing but starting from scratch what are the odds of success within 12 months... to me success equals covering living expenses ($4,000 per month or approx. 1 deal per month) at first and enjoying what I do.

So, getting things organized is important.This may not work for anyone else, but it did very well for me:I was an air traffic controller in the Army after my intelligence hitch.
