I live in the SE anyway so the distance is less of a factor.

SE Michigan.

I don’t have a particular property or project that I’m looking to buy right now so there’s no rush, per se, but I’m always looking and would love to have access to capital should an attractive deal present itself.Thank you in advance to the Bigger Pockets community – this is the best real estate investing resource I’ve come across.

There's no harm in calling him back per se, I guess you can see how much it will cost, but be prepared for a hard sell and if there is some conference or mentoring event, there will probably be a lot of upselling.

Bob, do you work with investors or invest yourself in SE?

@Paul Choate, Excluding only rental income: You will still be subject to SE tax until you hit the limit for Social Security.

There are a lot of fellow members in SE Wisconsin.

I'm fairly decent on the pro se side so I have no problem running the eviction paper work myself, so that's what I would do.

Jon Holdman and others, I think you are over thinking my original "challenge" ...I'm not looking for "data" or success "rates" per se...but given that there are 100,000 BP members, and at least some of them have found success wholesaling as newbies, and many of them are daily (if not hourly posters, LOL) I wanted to see how many of those newbies have a success story.

Most small multi will not really be turn key per se.. your best bet for those USUALLY is to find a nice commercial broker who specializes in that asset class.. there are some TK providers who do 2 to 4 units in the Chicagoland area as their specialty.
