I’ve seen & have researched whole saling but, honestly, i don’t think I have the sales prowess or stomach for it.

You really have to know what your stomach can handle before going into them.  

I don't think I have the stomach for C/D Class housing, but I'm curious about how you decide what to buy. 

I've gone with the "All-In" approach and found I don't really have the stomach for it so I sacrifice 5% of my annual income every year for a company match and budget off the other 95% to allow myself to find real estate deals.  

So as others said before its not a means to get wealthy it is just another tool in the toolbox provided you can stomach the ups, downs and volatility. 

If you need to be hand held enough to pay 30k to a guru, I don't think you have the stomach for real estate.

I’ve got a fairly strong stomache for “war zone” aka C class rentals but I wouldn’t do this deal.  

The amount of tax I would have to pay makes me sick to my stomach to think about.

No one really knows what they are talking about/doing unless you are dish out 10s of thousands of dollars (and I just couldn't stomach paying that and then to still run the risk of ending up with a subpar product), so I just do it instead and hire out the other aspects that are much more straightforward.Really, your (anyone reading this) path doesn't have to be neat and pretty and follow a straight line.

I may as well have dropped those same dollar bills into a sidewalk sewage drain (I was actually a little sick to my stomach for a few weeks after that experience)...Anyway, after reading a few of the comments in this thread, I actually feel little bad for ever silently berating and judging lottery players ever since I learned the value of money...Interesting perspective, though: as a few others have pointed out, playing lottery offers some value to the player in the same way non-players spend money on other forms of "fun" / "entertainment".I'm ashamed to admit, but I've blown an embarrassing amount of $ on designer accessories in my life...
