I'm rooting for you!

Now to your question, I would seriously considering finding a partner that is "rooted" and has experience in real estate investing...perhaps flipping.

First of all bleach only kills mold on hard surfaces (terrible misconception out there).On porous surfaces the bleach will appear to have killed the mold but the roots are still active waiting to regenerate.

I assume the only way to make it pay off and maybe the root of your questions is.

If it's nearby, do you see yourself staying in that community for 5-10 years (or perhaps longer, if you have family and deep roots there)?

At the root of the wholesalers debate is capacity and intent.

However, I think you will eventually figure out that it's something you are/are not doing vs the root cause being your agent.

Maybe better to start out with at least one LLC, though you should build a proper business entity structure with a revocable trust at the "root" to replace you as owner of the entities, then an S-Corp owned by the trust as your operating company, THEN an LLC owned by the trust and the S-Corp to hold property.

I am not alone when I say we are rooting for you!

Sewer line check for bellies, cast iron/ old clay/ offset lines, broken connections, roots, mud in lines, main tap.
