(IF you purchased and lived in property asap, then rented it out, then returned to it it sell it years later - better plan.

You can also assess a dollar amount that you value the cost of these requests to be, and ask for these as a discount from the purchase price or a concession to you for closing costs. 

There are some markets that you may be able to make a purchase with what you have available. 

Quote from @Adam Macias: Wholesaling as it is today will be a thing of the past.It’ll truly be strange to even hear people and gurus trying to make big money off it.The more people try wholesaling but then end up not having an end buyer or cancelling contracts or trying weird things like novations, the more all of real estate will be regulated and cause requirements like licensing to be able to transact more than just your personal resident purchase.Which I don't know why hasn't happened sooner.Here's all the states (in red or yellow) requiring a license to wholesale or at least have started the process:Credit: REITipsterI think licensing and regulation is a beautiful thing that should happen if you plan to be an wholesaler and do more than one deal... which is going to be the case for anyone taking this business seriously.Or even it being regulated to need a real estate agent to do more than one deal outside of buying a personal residence.I've had plenty of failed attempts with agents in pursuit of wholesale deals and I know exactly why, it's not because the agent couldn't find me deals, it's just not practical to think there's opportunity for the numbers a wholesaler needs to make a profit on top of everyone else needing to these days.Because the only sellers who truly can sell at a deep enough discount are usually those who ran out of time and just didn't do something sooner with their situation.I know many coaches and gurus will disagree with me but there’s no regulations on youtube gurus and what they teach either.If we look at the current state of the market in hot cities, the availability of online resources to the average homeowner, how many deals can you possibly believe are available at 70% of ARV?

Otherwise, you will have to explain the large deposit and possibly the source of the funds to buy the crypto.You can expect to need about 20 percent of the overall costs of the purchase and rehab.

I was lucky enough to have purchased before a surge in the London housing market, so I got my foot in the door for 280k CAD.

This sounds like a home run and a great first purchase!!

Is this purchase on the MLS or through a turnkey company? 

I recognize that when my family visits I'm hurting my profitability, but that would be once or twice a year and its part of the selling point to my wife to purchase a property.Where I need help is running the numbers. 

I live in San Diego and am trying to purchase my first investment property I have about 150K to put down but am struggling to find deals that meet my price point.
