I have used the great tools offered here to calculate potential cashflow and what my equity will most likely look like. 

With weekends and afternoons - I could easily spend 20+ hours / week on advancing this.Here’s why I like wholesaling and why I think I could break through:Deep experience and familiarity with sales cycles and tools.

I feel like real estate is the right tool to reach that goal.Thank you all for reading and I hope we can connect soon!

I suggest using the one in the biggerpockets tools for a rough estimate.

In order to make it worth her while you will have to answer both questions to her satisfaction.To answer the first issue of not being real to her, I use a tool I call flash cash.I will bring 1-5k with me in $100 bills and when overcoming her first objection, “I don’t want anything to do with it,” I will fan out the cash like a deck of cards and say, “I know this doesn’t feel real to you, but I am actually here to give this to you.”

Additionally, it can help maximize renovations and improvements.A Cost Segregation study is an IRS approved federal income tax tool that increases near term cash flow by utilizing shorter recovery periods for depreciation to accelerate return on investment.

These third-party tools are simply that - tools. 

But if you do it, there are many tools to help facilitate self management.As you know, a big driver is Supply & Demand.

Regarding what tools I use, I am just looking at rental comps to get my insight for specific neighborhoods.

There’s a plethora of tools out there, but looking for advice on where people have had the most success that has gotten quality long term tenants?
