I can throw offers at MLS listings all day and make a lot of money Agree, and this is why I initially was looking to invest out of state but after reading more on BP and doing some thinking I came to the conclusion that finding off market properties local to me would be a smarter and more profitable strategy.  

Probability can only come from software analysis and what you put into it to derive at conclusions regarding purchase, rehab, holding and RE fee costs.

Either way, you are keeping your options open.In conclusion, Assignment of Contract (aka wholesaling) is legal.  

Edit to add:  You are jumping to conclusions here - and misunderstanding what I was suggesting.  

Since those essentially stay the same, I agree with @Phillip Dwyer's conclusion that the cash flow numbers will probably favor the 2 beds more. 

I've come to the same conclusion through my research of most of the NOVA market, Greg.As far as other areas go, where are you currently investing or what areas would you suggest looking into when it comes to SF or MF?

I'm not really sure where I'm going from here at the moment, but I've certainly come to the conclusion that you probably win or lose right out of the gate on most deals…  if you overpay from an investing standpoint you'll never do well, and if you buy at a good price you'll probably do fine (regardless of where the place ends up being).  

. - you are maturing quite well as an investor, as is evident by the solid logic and conclusions you are arriving at.I specifically wrote the article to encourage CA and Canada (and otherwise) money to think it through before coming to Ohio to buy turn-key pigs in Cleveland, Toledo, and Dayton...

The long awaited conclusion:)Hey BP community!

I've always sold after improving properties, but now am coming to the conclusion that maybe it makes sense to hold as well for income to help qualify for other purchases.
