I wish I felt at ease enough to self insure.

Enterprise is better than ease." - Jim RohnThe only way I was able to get into the rental game (1 house) was:1) small inheritance from grandmother used as down payment2) on a cheap foreclosure in decent shape ($49,000) and having3) a partnership with my Dad to equally split Rev and ExpHonestly, it's worked out great.

I like houses that have curb appeal, or good bones where curb appeal can be added.I don't buy on busy streets or under high tension lines.

To ease the minds of some, there are taxes sold at $0.02 and into $100,000+, the cheap one was a trailer on one acre the larger a multi-million dollar strip mall.

I prefer credit unions, but keep a small amount in two big banks for ease with international wires, etc.I know this is an old thread. 

It would be a great way to generate a buyers list and ease into the wholesaling arena but I am just unsure if there are investors out there interested in houses that are in need of this much rehab.

This will go a long ways towards easing worries they have if you look and act like a professional.If you have decent credit and the cash for down payments you can also go the hard money route, the rates are pretty good depending on what your comparing them against.

It is definitely possible to get a good tenant set up & collect payments with ease.

One of those simple things that I wish I would have thought of.It has to be cheaper than the traditional surface tension guards since its really just a wide nylon sponge stuffed into the gutter.

Repointing correctly will give you the ease of not ever having to deal with it in your lifetime (even chimneys), go the extra mile and buy some siloxane hp water repellant.
