I won't deny that I'm privileged, but it hasn't exactly been a cake walk.I don't mean to offend.

I'm not saying that way will be a cake walk either, because starting a business (which is what getting started in REI REALLY IS) is difficult no matter which way you slice it, but this method would get you much more respect from the RE community and greatly increase your odds of success IMO.

I think I should go into the bakery business, because any idiot can bake a cake!

If they want $50K offer $40K, spend $12-15K get the property together.  2 bed rents for $800/mo thats $1600 for two units on a cake walk. 

I can assume that any sector of real-estate will have its own complications and that none of them will be a cake walk, but it still sounds like there is a lot of risk associated with wholesaling beyond just losing money.

I mean nothing is a cake walk in RE, right??

I'm sure this is a cake walk for most but would be our first property and is larger (# of appts) and includes a restaurant and storefront.  

I already have seen from my experience our single family A homes are so easy to manage, while the C apartments are constant work almost daily.in our neck of the woods B class and better is a cake walk.. compared to what other PM"s have to do in the rental dominated cities back east and in the mid west 

@Charles ScottLike you cut a cake or pie.

Obtaining a commercial loan for this type of multi-family is not a cake walk.
