So take into consideration the holding costs of making no money for years into the process. 

Are you looking for long term rentals for buy and hold?

Hold on to the cards forever (closing accounts or opening new cards can impact your score).

When we did it, we did score some great deals, but what we found was that we were visiting so many properties to understand our "strike price" (the maximimum we would pay for the property when taking into account rehab costs, hold times, interest on any debt, closing costs, real estate commissions, a contingency reserve for "unexpecteds", etc) that the math started to not make as much sense.

My wife had to hand hold the majority of the interactions with the tenants and attorneys which was unacceptable.

Based in Philadelphia, my goal is to start wholesaling properties as well as buy properties to flip and hold.

I only hold decent properties in nice areas, modern construction, etc.
