I'll echo what Stephen said, insurance makes things tricky as well as the high interest rates impacting the rest of the country, but if you get a good enough deal you can maybe make it work.

Nobody has a good enough crystal ball to accurately predict SOFR even out 12 months, let alone a decade.Since 5-50 units is not institution grade, I don't think you need to replicate the neurosis.  

I had a pretty good idea when I bought my second deal, not good enough, and I paid for it.Gino

So, if its good enough for him it's good enough for me. :)

Or just both parties sign the lease is good enough? 

As if this alone wasn’t good enough, he had pre negotiated a SUBSTITUTION OF COLLATERAL clause to be included in the deed of trust/note.  

Ever.But you need to take every precaution that you can, and just relying on a renters policy is nowhere near good enough... 

Cash flows are solid on all save one, but still good enough.  

If the only reason is just fear of investing 100% solo, probably not a good enough reason - should really be a complementary skill set - like are they a licensed realtor in DC (+MD/VA?)

And I was interested in wholesaling some as well, but I just dont think that what I would be giving up by 50/50 splitting wholesale deals that basically I go find and setup, etc. in addition to the significant cost to join PD was a good enough value/ROI compared to some of the other options and programs that are out there.
