Hello Everyone, My name is Solomon and when it comes to the Real estate investment game I am on the newer side but willing to learn from others and when the time is right strike to get my second true rental property.

Although wholesaling is always a numbers game, there are things you can do to improve your chances.

The downside of selling will also be that our expenses will go up by buying a new home as well, and we aren't very high income earners (we both make a little over $100k/year combined)We also own a few small rental properties in smaller towns nearby in TX, so the rental game isn't new to us!

I would not chase the flipping game. 

This could also be called an 'equity play' where you are just buying the property to get into the real estate game and build equity, as it isn't cash flowing in its current situation (be it because of high interest rate, high RE prices, or whatever).  

It's a long game.

The name of the game is getting into the game, and then figuring it out.

Hey @Dan Gongora - I have a list of lenders that another BP member shared with me a while back...the lenders are exclusive to Chicago or Illinois, but I assume that wouldn't matter to you.How much equity do you have in the property and what is your game plan with the money?

However, I think if you decide to do this, you should get some money up front combined with owner financing so you have some skin in the game so to speak.

This is a tax shell game question about gold and real estate in the states passing "legal tender" legislation like Louisiana (article linked).
