Let me illustrate an example:I (the wholesaler) go under contract for a property and put down a $5,000 deposit.

As @Joe Villeneuve illustrates,  it takes longer to get your money back the more you put into it.

You're exactly proving the point, that there's such a hype that investing is only good, if you have tons and tons of properties and spend all day, every day on it.My post was only to illustrate that there's nothing wrong with not doing it the fastests, biggest, mostest.
