You can hardly breathe when you walk into the property the smell is that bad.

That would allow the floor to "breath".

In 2.5 years when I turn down my commission and instead go full time working for the hardest boss out there (myself) it will truly be a breath of fresh air.

In the same breath, doing all the leg work for 20% of the cashflow is a no go.  

The monthly payment will be slightly lower than their rent and never go up, other than property tax increases, so they will breathe much easier.

This allows them to increase the rent while giving you some breathing room.2) Buy right!

Many people think asbestos will jump right out and get you, but it's not like that and generally is safe as long as you're not breathing airborne fibers.

@Arin Whedbee - If you're going to be working directly with sellers (which is the primary function of a wholesaler) you should live and breathe Michael Quarles, Zig Ziglar, Dave Kahle, etc. 

@Cheza M. there  are plenty of  lenders  able to  offer a  rate lock  on a  30 yr fixed  rental property loan BEFORE underwriting ....the present rates are in the  5.5%-7% range for  rental loans ......dont hold  your  breath  for these to improve anytime soon .....historically  speaking - rates are  still low .....but  obviously nothing like the past  several years  ( which was  very unusual )

First Take a deep breath, yes it seems a fearful thing, I was fearful, but as it turns out taking the steps below have actually made revenues improve not collapse, over 6 months into moratorium and have less than 2% tenant issues.
