My opinion for what it's worth, Account Closed, is that it's much harder to find a deal now and make the numbers work.I believe there is more "investors" or at least people attempting to invest than ever before - combine that with our current situation of higher than what "most of us" are used to and low inventory = 10X harder to find good deals - in my opinion.Wholesaling being easy is a myth...I know so many people here in Chicago who talk about it, but the number of people doing it at any scale for a length of time is nearly zero....the one guy I know who's been at it longer than most here in Chicago is @Zach Shepard and he's a silent snipper!

Their pro forma sheet doesn't take into account ANY vacancy or repairs when calculating cash flow, and the rent comps are...ambitious. 1.

In that case I'd likely sell the ones you lived in and move that money to a high yield savings account or low risk index fund.

Account Closed- thanks ...not sure if you have already  listed/ sold the property ...right now ( end of june ) is looking like a  pretty decent time to list / sell .
