For them, it is how long they think it will take based on their guy's history, difficulty, their experience, materials, etc.  

So I am very much aware of new technologies and related stuff.

I'm an Information Technology supervisor in the Air Force, and will continue this field after retirement. 

My team and I are having difficulty    getting accurate estimates.

This money I can borrow privately at 2%, undetermined term but I would hope to refinance once the property was up to par and rented out.All in: 110kSo that I'm not misleading, I'll say here that the area is probably C-, right on the east edge of Washington Park for you Milwaukee natives, and that this could pose difficulties (or perhaps scare off many investors?).

She comes to my house, if you have such difficulty trusting people you can put up nanny cams.

Social media - Technology and of course there's forums specifically dedicated to Wholesaling.

Since she was in her golden years she wasn't well versed in anything that has to do with technology so documents had to be sent via snail mail and that added to the length of time.

I have liquidity from the previous business to invest and hopefully kick start this endeavor.Biggest challenge - I don't know this industry, I am coming from a completely opposite industry in the technology field.What I have, I think, in my favor, are colleagues from the RE industry with experience in both traditional RE sales (agent/buy/sell) but also experience in the REI side (one owning about 70+ properties and the other owning about 25 properties, both using their properties for passive cashflow)With an engineering/analytical background, my greatest fear right now is the unknown and I am trying to shore up that experience through reading and listening to others, but as I have already discovered, its like taking a drink from the fire hose - way more knowledge than I can consume in a short period of time.Questions I would pose to anyone interesting in providing some feedback -- Best way to look for that first opportunity?
