Ok, that out of the way, my closing argument is I have done countless wholesales of more variations than I can recall and I am a-ok fine, I know many many others who are just the same and even a few who have hundreds and thousands of wholesales under their belt, all in MN, all without any problem other than the occasional person banging the "you can't do that" gong, well, their wrong. 

My rent is $8400/year, and I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to rent for another 1-3 years and see what the market does and try and get a home around $200-250k instead of $275-$325k.Yeah, the belt line is coming, blah blah etc, but what real development has occurred?

With 18 years of experience under your belt, you should have no trouble finding interested investors in the Houston market.  

It really depends on the market and the median sales prices.. as some have stated above when you have these low value homes through the mid west rust belt and deep south that trade for the price of cars.. there is only so much an agent can do for you...

@Franchesca Ramaker Congrats on getting your first post under your belt!!!!  

Other than that the complexity of a reverse make it imperative that you get a QI on board who's got a bunch under their belt  The structure to make them work is so key and unique to every situation. 

I have two multfamily buildings under my belt, but I'm now looking at my first commercial apartment building, which will be out of state b/c I just don't have the money to play big time real estate in NJ yet and can't deal with sub 7% cap rates as "good".  

It's another tool to have on your tool belt.  

I wanted to let the other new people on here know this is all doable and it feels amazing to get one under your belt after only been in the "game" for 3 months.

Within the belt line is highly saturated so I'm willing to traveling 45 minutes.
