You sound just like me, sitting behind a desk would kill me, i'd rather be outside working with my hands in a pair of shorts and t shirt.

Get intimately familiar with your investor's criteria, and work the phones, wear out a pair of shoes, learn every street in your farm area.

You want to see what changes may be taking place in the area.That's info that I think I would find very useful, especially when paired with solid comps.All the best,Kieran

Investors toss the words cash flow around a lot, unfortunately, it is like saying I have a pair of shoes.

However, the wife thinks the impressed wood pattern would collect dirt if installed in a kitchen.two words....KNEE PADS .... get a good quality pair :)

If I do manage to become a successful RE investor, I would want to expand outside of wholesaling, although my initial plan was to become successful (by this I mean profitable) wholesaling before I ventured into the area of rehabs - not sure if this changes anything you said about end intentions though.If my end goal was to rehab, would you suggest pairing up with an experienced partner who can provide expertise and capital (while I provide the grunt work of finding motivated sellers, probably accept smaller % of profits).

First, this is one of the reasons why police officers travel in pairs -- so that they don't get put in a situation where they have to kill a stupid, but unarmed, person.

I've considered doing this, and would pair it with a small gift, such as a $5 SB card.

I think if you pair up with these types of people you'd be able to accomplish your goals:1.

The property sold a few days later, and I am not sure the new buyer knew what they were getting into, I have a pair of pretty keen eyes and can usually walk the property and see issues other might miss.But I couldn't believe at the time for FNMA to make it so clear they didn't want to know.
