A lot to unpack here, though, to really decide.

What would you do in my shoes I don’t invest there so take this with a slight grain of salt but I’ve heard multiple stories of basically this exact scenario someone getting offered a big payday for something in Cumberland, rejecting it & always for some reason (house burned down, block got worse, sheetz decided they actually didn’t want someone’s land for a car wash after all) always selling for like 10-20k and regretting not selling.

We decided to team up and try to take down our first deal together because they had reliable sponsors to sign on the loan and it seemed like we were working well together, at first at least.During the same time a different student that came through the high pressure three day course with us found a deal and had my partner help him underwrite it.

With that said, it's best to START it like you're going to outsource everything, so it will be easier once you decide to make that transition.
