Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

I’m considering countering with a price closer to the market value, but I’m curious how others approach deals like this.Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

I realize that I will need a W2 to make get a mortgage, so I was considering picking up a couple of part time, flexible jobs in order to hopefully acquire a new property as an STR.

Quote from @Marco Bario: @Kris Kempe - You should consider the risks for you and the seller when wholesaling a subject to deal.

Obviously there are risks if I get laid off and would loose all the tax savings and be paying out of pocket for the property, but are there other things that I should consider?

I'm now considering expanding my real estate ventures into building custom homes, but I know this is an entirely different beast between the required capital, learning curve, time committment, etc. 

. :) WEll the nice folks at BP help me with all my back end things that i need to get done they have set up my entire whatever you call it.. 

I just set up my vrbo account and still some finer details about planning the communication, cleaning service, maintenance persons, etc…
