I have spent a lot of time listening to podcast and reading and now it is time to take action.

I've seen folks say things to me like, we spent 400k to build and then the house was appraised at 550k upon completion.

I spent the last 25+ years of my life in technical and executive recruiting, and now looking to taking some of those hard-earned skills and applying them to the world of property wholesaling/investing.

I have already spent fifteen thousand dollars for a program that didn’t show me how to get financing for my deals and I am broke seriously broke like don’t know where I’m going to get money to feed my family broke and I am HUNGRY in more ways than one this means the world to me I have to make this work so please if anyone can help me find private money lenders that will take a chance on me let me know I know I will make us a lot of money because I have.

That may offer a better option to gain equity faster on the ARV.I would also take a look at the total time spent into a new log cabin build, overall costs and compare to recent sales of exact log homes.

Start by identifying a location (eg where you grew up, where you have spent time). 

I spent 2022/2023 purchasing single family homes in my preferred investment corridor within 43612/43613 zipcodes. $80k will net you $1200/mo.That said I am of the opinion that rent rates (up significantly since Covid) are plateauing, I don't expect to see them climb significantly higher.Regardless, factor my position of being a cash-in-hand personality who doesn't much care if the hype is telling us to buy-buy-buy or run for the hills.

Good contractors are a precious commodity and any investor who has spent years and tens of thousands of dollars on contractors form hell will not feel motivated to share those with a stranger on the internet.

All this time and energy spent vs picking up the phone, calling tenant and saying "Oh hey, curious where all this is coming from, kinda caught me by surprise".     

Picked up a few things here and there, but also spent a lot of time reading, researching, listening, and asking a ton of questions.
