That can be many thousands of dollars for the mere privilege of owning a property in the community.

I heard an agent reference the vacancy rate just last week in Spokane as a mere 1.6%.I happen to have a 3/1 with a huge shop in Spokane Valley I'm looking to wholesale this month.

If the redemption period has expired, then you will need to deal with the HOA since they are the vested property owner in title and the "property owner" is merely a tenant, he just has possession.  

.- The next layer down are the "promoters" of turnkey, who don't actually buy/rehab the properties...they are merely marketing other's properties. 

Whether it's $1000/mo or merely $500/mo, it's still nice.Markets go up and down, that's the norm.

I merely scratched the surface of REI. dug back into YouTube and listened relentlessly. 2021, sold 3 SFR rentals, 1031 them into commercials, 8 unit (June), 10 unit (Sept), and 10 unit (Nov). 2022, sold the 2plex and 3plexes and 1031 them into 19 units, etc... at the same time, I sold the 10 unit from Nov and 1031 into 16 units.Thay summer, rewarded family for putting up with my shenanigans by getting larger RV and traveling the US for 2 more months.

Many companies are out of state, just like the buyers, and they merely act as marketing companies.

I'm not recommending this, merely pointing out that it is an option: You could possibly set up a home equity line of credit, and combine that with borrowing from your 401k for a few months.

Once again, pictures are worth a thousand words, and building projects are simply indescribable using mere words.It can be fiscally enticing to go forward without an architect, but it is not wise.

Merely getting some wholesalers’ names, even if they are experienced/reputable, doesn’t necessarily get you too far toward that goal since virtually every other investor wants to do the same thing.When you interview a wholesaler, they’re also interviewing you to see if you fit the profile of a sophisticated, reputable cash buyer who WILL CLOSE once you commit.If you fit that criteria then one on one networking is your chance to prove it to them.And if you don’t, then my advice would be to build relationships with aspiring/promising wholesalers, who maybe have one or two deals under their belt instead of 50, and try to be helpful to them and “grow with them”.
