You've gotten a great response above from @Michael Plaks I'll also note that for this or any similar "strategy" people come across to just step back and ask the following: Does this have a genuine profit/business motive? 

What are the watch outs or steps that you recommend?

That should have been step 1.

@Kevin ApolinarioCongratulations on taking the steps toward your first real estate investment!

If raising all cash would be my primary method for funding these apartment deals, what would be your guys contingency in order from most preferred to least preferred. 

I started this company because I want to be a source for people and be that stepping stone for people who want a better life.

And your generally not always but generally dealing with folks that only own a single property or very few not the sharpest tool in the shed other wise they would not be letting wholesalers step in and make more than a normal fee.. 

It seems like a simple thing, but reaching out in BiggerPockets about getting started as a real estate investor is a great first step.

First step is to find a lender you would like to work with and just ask them!

The expense tracker, reports and rental sheets (useful if you are planning to do the BRRRR method and need to calculate 2 different sets of loans).I used to have my own custom spreadsheets that I built but this one does everything mine did plus much more.
