We don't hear all of the sleepless nights staring at the ceiling when your money is held up in a deal and you aren't sure how it is going to work out.  

I think focusing on that initially is a good way to cover yourself in economic downturn, by being very picky. 2)  Personally I would also think of other locations where the economics of the area are such that this model could work out great, and determine if you have any contact(s) there with a strong RE network? 

The first broker I tried to work under was so unfamiliar with wholesaling, and wanted to treat the whole thing as real estate commission, that it just wasn't going to work out.

Every year, we would go to the beach I would go through my usual routine of getting the real estate magazines from the corner machine and sort through them looking for something that I thought I might be able to buy.

Maybe set a routine to 30 min-1 hour a day researching your market, listing to webinar, attending a meet up group, talking to agents, making offers, ect. 

This means that you two work out a deal where you pay your monthly mortgage directly to the owner.

But using DealCheck helps me get our dream numbers to work out and see how it well the equity, cash flow, ROI, net income would go for 5,10,15, etc.

Were you in contact with other real estate investors beforehand and worked out arrangements to workout a double close?

While there is a very good argument for leaving college, it might severely limit your options if going on your own doesn't work out for you.]Best of luck!

Hi @Jake Hottenrott , If Jim doesn't work out let me know, I may have a referral for you.
