we had about 50 million out and that was 250 investors.pretty sure you will find like kind companies in your state no problemthen just look at loans they present you and make sure they make sense.DONT do this with NEWBIES or people hitting you on the internet talking a great game.. you need to belly to belly and make sure your aligning with top shelf experienced players. 

Long story short, in the inspection period, I noticed that the the bed was against the wall during the pictures in the master bedroom for the internet.

If I want to gamble I go to the casino.

Honestly the brick and mortar model is attempting to adapt to the internet world, but it is difficult when every brokerage office costs at least $2k a month to keep the lights on and door open. eXp doesn't provide the leads exactly. 

Depository institutions (big banks and CUs) and internet lenders are where you want to go to save $37/mo by refinancing to drop your rate 0.125%, or where you want to go when you want a HELOC.

On that note, do you have any recommendations on good internet wholesalers of extinguishers and who you typically use to perform these annual inspections?

A) Buy enough units to control the board or B) List the property and hope the buyer does not google your HOA which is probably like most and has been bad mouthed all over the internet.

I think I have got enough knowledge and capital to buy my first SFH or duplex rental property, but my wife thinks buying rental properties is gambling.

That is exactly what I see, buying condos from a wholeseller seems like a real gamble.

Agents love to bash Zillow because it threatens the 5 - 6% commission that was justifiable only  prior to the internet age.
