Hi Justin, seasoning will not be the biggest issue.

If you are in Essex Co, that 460k will go for way higher, depending on the town.Step back, why do you want your first investment to be the biggest risk any investor can take by accepting the property and all of it's faults without having the right to make repair requests?

@LaShanti Penn one of the biggest mistakes owners make is not understanding the different risks with different Property Classes.They often look at cheaper properties that are Class C, but expect Class A results.Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.When investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

The biggest problem was that the pricing really starts to get out of whack as you add properties.So while it's somewhat price competitive for 1 or 2 properties by the time you get to 5 or 6 properties it's almost triple the cost of Ownerrez. 

I continue to find a lot of useful information on what it is to wholesale a deal but my biggest obstacle is knowing what a good deal looks like.

I am also a natural introvert, but have learned that putting myself out there and getting uncomfortable is a skill.My biggest suggestion would be to go to as many local in-person meetups as possible and find the people who are "moving and shaking" to become friends with them. 

The question I've asked myself when I find myself in situations like the one you're in, and one I also ask when analyzing a deal, is "What's my downside?". 

Mostly small things, biggest things have been a new electric panel, appliances for one unit, fresh paint for one unit, new garage doors.

It has worked well for me in finding my tenants in Colorado Springs:Not being able to find tenants is one of the biggest fears beginning house hackers have when they first get started.
