For me, over 90% work in tech and have $150-500k for an acquisition and...99% of the leads are buyers.

Due to these challenges, a successful client acquisition has taken as long as 1.5yrs(!!) 

In order to get there it would be good if you could keep feeding cashflow proceeds back into acquisitions, on top of your continued W2.Speaking from experience, you can manage probably 30-50 units yourself nights and weekends before you really need to hire someone.

No - absolute max for DSCR is 85% LTV and that is extremely rare and typically not workable in this rate environment anyways.Standard/common max is 80% (acquisition and rate-term refinances) and 75% Cash-Out Refis

You're welcome on the lists mate hehe 👍 (No, not sending to anybody else as Luka has Balkan heritage I'm assuming and so do I so we look after each other haha).Wholesalers are a disaster and all of your equity/profit will go to them.I suggest cold calling yourself, learn/practice your pitch and then elevate and delegate.My folks have been doing just acquisitions for many years now but all good things take time.All the best mate

(And no, the "acquisition fee" or carried interest at the end of the investment are ******** answers to "most of my net worth is in the deal").When the investor, whether it's a 27 year old putting their first $50K or $100K into something, or a 45 year old worth $15M putting $9M into their business idea, goes all-in, that's when my ears perk up. 

I’ve been considering working for as a acquisition manager for a  wholesaling company, as I believe it would help me develop skills in property analysis and enhance my sales abilities.

To meet this requirement, you must spend at least 750 hours per year actively participating in real estate activities, such as property management, development, or acquisitions, and these activities must constitute more than half of your total working hours for the year.

Let's call this 30% of the acquisition price. 

I do have a house that is 4:1, but it works due to peoples schedules and mostly male occupants.Padsplit manages the member acquisition and rent collection and I do the rest.
