This deal leveraged strategic financing, value-add renovations, and market knowledge to deliver a strong return.

Find as many investor meetups as you can as the knowledge others have are invaluable when you're first starting out. 

My logic behind a area to hold is basically is in my zone of knowledge that means close in and in a  A-B area .BIG fish can have the whole USA in their  zone .Outside of my zone I am thinking flip it there are exceptions like all rules . 

I'm just hoping someone with actual knowledge of it can provide some information that offers an alternate explanation.

We even had to do a lease back to them while the carport situation was being finalized.There is definitely some luck involved with every deal, but I think as investors we can create our own luck as well based on knowledge and experience.  

You will also likely be paying more than more experienced investors as you build your team and knowledge.

.- Background: Took some real estate classes before but really a lot of self learning on creative financing - Current Goal:To close my first wholesale deal within the next few months by learning from seasoned investors and applying proven strategies.I'm here to absorb as much knowledge as possible, so if you have any tips or resources, I’m all ears!

You are always helpful with your advice and knowledge here on BP.

best of luck. make sure you are speaking to a knowledgeable person in your area as you might be getting false information

well I do plan on purchasing a duplex as my first investment and once I complete my Real Estate License during the time of my service I hope to be a lot more knowledgeable and approach SFH's to BRRRR but yes I understand!
