You can't predict how someone will react to any circumstance.Let me ask you this:Where would you go if you were a hungry lion in the savannas of Africa to find food?

You get what you pay for in all cases: while shopping for food, clothes, attorneys, CPAs, Doctors and Realtors. 

Does anyone else get daily calls from different people saying they're from Home Buyer's Inc interested in purchasing your property? 

I usually suggest to my clients the equivalent of 3 months’ rent held in escrow and double the daily rent rate to be charged in the rent-back agreement starting after agreed upon move-out date if they are not out, with seller maintaining all utilities and repairs on appliances and systems until move out, especially if you’re planning to renovate, anyway.

I ALWAYS just set a daily budget and let the ad run continuously.

Wholesaling is NOT investing.Wholesaling is a business.Wholesaling requires you to continuelly get new leads, sell contracts to buyers, repeat.Once you stop getting leads or finding buyers, there is no more money coming in.Sure, you can get food and automate certain things but it is a business.In my opinion, you should look at what you do in your profession and see if you can moonlight some hours to make more money that will go towards the downpayment.Best of luck

The appreciation and deferred profit from 1031 exchange or whatever, I consider that future "checking account" money that  I will tithe on when rents or sales will become my daily income. 

As I run my STR mgmt business, I figured I'd simplify and share my company's comprehensive list of daily tasks that we believe deliver the best results:1.

Just some food for thought for those who invest in mortgage notes and think buying seconds cheap gets you in the business at a low barrier to entry  - it is cheap until you have to reinstate or payoff a first lien.

Just food for thought.
