Way to go Kyle, that is a huge motivating story for me as I too am a Novice potential wholesaler and finding it very difficult to get my first bite if you will.  

What we can do for $30,000 would easily cost a novice $40,000 to $50,000.

I'm also a novice investor.

BRRRR is NOT A NEW strategy like some novice investors think.

I am leaning towards renting the place, but I realize I am novice at this and others can share valuable insight.

It's given me a life and lifestyle that I never thought I could achieve when I was in the corporate world and I'm certain that I have greater wealth than the people that ran the company that I used to be employed by.What's different about the paper business today is that, in addition to understanding title and the collateral, serving and collection practices are much more of an issue, particularly in states where legislation has been enacted to advocate for the slow or non-paying borrower.This doesn't mean you can't service your own loans, however in addition to the title and collateral aspects, there's a learning curve that may not be be worth the trouble to a novice note investor.Despite owning several large note portfolios myself, I decided a while ago that I'd only invest in non-performing bank paper as a partner.

In my opinion if you are a novice in flooring put the tack strip down which already has nails to hit into the concrete, then use a baby threshold to match your wood to cover the transition between rooms for a really clean look.Let me know if I can help further.Michael

As a novice(tounge in cheek) If no one is biting, You might be outpricing the market. 

Novice investors attribute zero value to cash to artificially increase the perception of their returns on a property.

Smart moves I can make to avoid common novice mistakes?
