Great strategy and you have a lot of options now with Fannie Mae now allowing low down payment owner occupant loans on up to 4 units.

These events are great places to meet people who are serious about real estate investing and might be interested in partnering up.When you do find someone you think you can work with, start with small, low-risk deals to build trust and see how the partnership works out.Also, take some time to educate yourself more on wholesaling through the resources available on BiggerPockets, such as articles, podcasts, and forums.

Despite rock solid comps the appraiser gives you a very low appraisal.

Even if it was a low performer (which it isn't), isn't it part of the game to reimagine, see the potential and make it a success? 

This stability made it possible to pull out capital and keep reinvesting.However, the landscape started to shift drastically around 2020-2022, when interest rates plummeted to historic lows.

The game is about getting the best possible start in life, and money in the bank and a low cost degree are two obviously great moves.

@Minji KimRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which is VERY important for stable rental income and low property maintenance/damage.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Low risk deals are more expensive, but if your first deal goes south there will never be a second one.

Wholesaling can be a legitimate way to start real estate investing, offering low capital requirements and quick returns.

And low and behold the first day it went live on the website , I was getting 6 or 7 calls per HOUR .
