There are a couple of other ways up my sleeve but if I told you I would have to kill you lol.I get email virtually every day from people who want to know where to find buyers for their wholesale deals.

I would rather roll up my sleeves and dig into a nasty rehab property, than spend 3 more months trying to find a deal that could make me the same money, without getting my hands dirty. 

I'm a newbie ready to get down!

(legit or make believe offers, you don't care)  Then roll up your sleeves and go to work on your new found deal.  

In my market, thats a HUGE plus, and people will pay or choose a unit with central air over a place with sleeve units.

So many people are searching for the magic formula, and it seems that what many of these seminars are selling is the hope that it's all real, rather than having to roll your sleeves up and build it one little bit at a time through hard work, discipline, patience, and careful choices.I'd say that a person who purchases homes with cash, or through sensible use of leverage with enough equity to balance risk/higher returns, is displaying those qualities and is far from "stupid and lazy"!!

If you want to get started, find a deal the old school way and that means it's time to roll up your sleeves, but you already know about that part!

Might still have to roll up my sleeves, but we'll do what we have to right?! 

You just have to know when to say something like that so you would not ruin any investment plans that you have on your sleeve.

With that being said, roll up your sleeves, because it takes effort.May I inquire as to what career path led you away from say being an architect?
