Suspected a very slow leak of refrigerant somewhere, did nitrogen test, even injected dye etc....couldn't find it Finally I spoke to the owner, he came out himself, within 20 minutes he found the issue, an expansion valve that had gunk buildup partially clogging the line causing the appearance of lost pressure and leaked refrigerant.  

My suggestion would be to build up savings, if you haven't already and start investing in flips.  

I'm pretty excited because I know I'll be meeting lots of people in pro real estate circles and my work schedule will be more conducive to giving me time and energy to build up the REI business while working full time.  

I am currently marketing for wholesale deals to build up my investment capital.  

I have the same plan of wholesaling to in the beginning to build up my capital in order to purchase my first buy and hold, using the BRRRR strategy to pull the money out and repeat the process.  

It would take a bit of time to build up some capital, but could provide an option to have some tax-sheltered retirement savings in real estate.

What matters more than the color of the ink, envelope, etc. is having a targeted list that is marketed to consistently with the right message.

Would it be wise to start marketing towards investors straight out the gate or build up to it?

I would like to build up to at least 25 units so i can replace my regular Joe job income of about $90k per year. 

Build up to your demolition days and custom glass shower enclosures :)You are correct on the money side of things.
