I wish sometimes I had done the house hacking thing - but the bachelor pad-ish Uptown apartment was just too enticing for my early 20's.

Even if you bought it at $173k, that's not low enough to entice an investor to buy it at $173k.The point of wholesaling is that you find GOOD DEALS.

Subject lines need to entice the receiver to open the message.

I realize the 3% cash on cash is pretty depressing, but considering what I'll save with the 1031 on taxes, and that my money is not just sitting in the back, and I learn how to manage a duplex and graduate from a single family flip into the rental game, I have to admit I'm enticed. the property is with a realtor but the person selling is also an investor moving to larger property.

The agent doesn't have to market the home, the Seller just moves on without open houses and showings, and you get the home.Is there anything unique to your homes that entice people? 

I have a feeling California will still get their taxes, but a 15-20% savings on top of the value-add you already made to the property is pretty enticing on its own.

I would like to go that route, I am more than happy to give an enticing portion of the deal to an investor and to act as the landlord/do the manual work.

That's why companies will pay massive premiums even within NYC to get prime spaces to entice their employees and hoping for increased productivity and keeping them happier/healthier.

Just put in the listing how much money you’ve made to entice buyers.

Very bright, modern, and enticing to a possible renter/buyer.
