Flipping is actually more a business than it is investing and you know how much goes into that.

I also have tenants set up monthly on Lolo Gifts, which costs me 1.50 per tenant per month, and sends them a little monthly treat from a local business in town.

We purchased an RV last year under our personal names that is primarily used for business travel.

In the last 2 months I was receiving a lot of deals in my email account and I received a "great deal" from a small wholesaler; 2 hours later the same property address showed up in an email from one of the "big wholesale companies" 10k dollars more expensive... the property was gone even before I could call the small wholesaler.I believe both are useful and all of us need to make a living, so I understand their role in this business.

Quote from @Nathan Gesner: Quote from @Danielle Levy: I agree with Nathan, you should bring more to the table and lay it all out there so that we can give you the exact detailed answers you are looking for to be successful.

Multiple investors with decades of experience, some GP, some LP, some skeptics about the entire business in general sense and some bulls who have gotten rich from investing have all chimed in on this you got links to specific case studies from Brian Burke, a seasoned syndicator, a guy check from Melanie p, who makes it a part time job taking the trash out and exposing the shenanigans of one syndicator after another.Greg Scott has an excellent reputation on these forums, and provides a counterpoint to Melanie’s skepticism.

because I was paying my bird-dogs vs having them pay me and just promise how someday, maybe just maybe they will bring the grand-slam of a deal and then I will be paying them oh-so much $$$$$ Seriously, from those buying into this I gotta understand how your mind works, no insult meant, I am genuinely intrigued and baffled because if it's a good deal you can go to any number of investors and get $, not a one will charge you for the opportunity to present them deal. 

But sure as heck not impossible, it just takes a commitment to learning a very complex detailed facet of business and regulations. 

I also own a water restoration and general maintenance business in the area and the amount of STR owners that we have spoken with is insane.  

We all bring different experiences and amazing that you bring your family experience to the table.
