I'm pretty sure those very tactics and mindset are the reason why people like Charlie, John, and others have a bad taste in their mouth when it comes to wholesalers.Your seller has no way of knowing what you made off the deal unless you or your buyer tells them. 

I feel like purchasing a duplex, living in one unite, renting the other out, and purchasing a deal where the numbers work correctly to where my living expenses would be paid for by my tenant, would be an excellent way to not only help me achieve my goal of paying off my student loan debt, but also help me get a taste of what land lording is like to see if it is a route I would enjoy taking. 

Remove any art that is too taste specific. 

TOO DAMN 'SLICK RICK' for my taste buds! 

Some of the potential buyers don't have the money for a down payment or they don't want to spend the money for a down payment because they wouldn't have money to remodel the building to their tastes/needs.  

@Andrew BeaverWe decided on Bradford because we would be living in one of the units, my fiancee has particular tastes, so when researching areas, I needed the town/city to have a good number of multi's, an atmosphere I would want to participate in, and a good cost of house vs potential rent ratio.The other factor to consider, was that the city had to be between my job and my fiancee's. 

To get a taste I'd recommend acquiring a multi w/value-add (lots of sweat in other words) in a B+ area wher you can live and rehab and above all, LEARN as I've observed over he years it's not how much capital one has at their disposal but knowledge that will ultimately yield you the "cash-flow" you're aspired so to grow.  

Before long it was time to start and J Martin kicked off the two-day Summit with some encouraging words and a taste of what we were going to experience over the next two days.

That idea puts a sour taste in my mouth.Or, we could rent it out and fix it slooowly with the cashflow.  

I'm 100% occupied too so I'm well-versed in tenant behaviors, tastes and market demand down to the subdivision level.
