It's quantifying "ample reserves" that I'm trying to figure out.I stumbled upon Brandon's Blog Post recently that has been very helpful.https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/10/13/real-estate-capex-estimate-capital-expenditures/  

Hi @DeWitt Gibson, I've just started to learn about wholesaling and stumbled across this thread re: condos.

Fast forward to 2013 and my husband and I were looking for a house to buy when we stumbled onto a duplex that we couldn't pass up.

This one thing is a stumbling block for me.

After watching several friends just stumble into deals I decided the risk was well worth the return, I started and haven't looked back since!

This was a stumbling block for a number of potential lenders.  

Looking for a site that tracks previous, not current, building permits.I know I have stumbled on it the past.Thanks

I’ve stumbled into a few good deals just by shear frugality and interest.

Recently, I stumbled upon Rich Dad Poor Dad and opened my mind to purchasing assets and not liabilities.

I've learned SOOOO much from those podcasts and the books they've recommended; like Brandon's Book on Rental Property Investing, Rich Dad Poor Dad, E-Myth, and one book I stumbled into at Barnes & Noble called Flip: How to Find, Fix, and Sell Houses for Profit.
