Illregardless, I thought the payday would be great, but evenmore the experience I would gain from such a transaction would be out of this world.  

Never stop digging never stop working because your payday is under the next shovel of dirt waiting for you to find it.Last point is failure is just an opportunity to learn and grow.

It's a much stronger appreciation market over the next 3-5 years which usually a greater pay day when you sell. 

Investors are going to generate more work for a smaller payday than retail buyers.

I don't mind getting my hands dirty especially if there's a payday. 

The fact that you drained your IRA for this move without leaving something for the future tells me that you were caught up in thinking you could make a great payday.

From the looks of this deal, you may be able to pull off a nice pay day.  

That way you will have a better understanding once the time comes for you to get a property under contract and turn that bird dog fee in to a bigger payday.

Who's coming to them with specific needs over and over, that they have low inventory and cant meet the need...etcSo my 2 cents is, instead of the big paydays of Wholesaling where you NEEEEED a mentor or training to do it right; instead, consider househacking (even for just 1year) and finding a deal that has existing tenants (with solid track record of course) or buy one that's not fully occupied and vet your own tenants.

I am very excited to amp-up my real estate investing and stop relying the W2 paydays.
