Hey @Marie Copul, since you want to leave your job, I recommend focusing on a high cash flow business model within REI to begin with before getting into the lower cash flow (wealth building) models.So, flipping and wholesaling are the typical high cash flow models within REI.

You could do it your way but I’d recommend a bit of a hybrid model.

That is why I believe IMO that opendoor (old zillow flipping homes model) does not work.

You get to show buyers the same models over and over and do not take people all over town.

In the upper left corner in yellow, you will see the skid steer with 440CT model on it. 

Just like the business model of every syndicator/note maker. 

Typically, the mobile home funds can achieve very attractive COC, a somewhat recession resistant business model, decent upside as well.  

It also sounds like they are not the ones actually doing the work, they are more a fund of funds model investing which there is nothing wrong with - just need to do an added layer of DD

In fact it's the exact opposite, 1% of commercial agents don't know what owner financing is after doing this model daily and speaking to 100's of commercial agents.

Even creating a simple model to evaluate potential deals or predict returns could be a fun way to combine your interests while gaining hands-on experience.The most important thing is to start somewhere.
