From my perspective honesty is always the best policy.

I just purchased a home, and to be honest I kinda bought it blindly.

. - to be honest, I don't even bother looking at advertised numbers from the MLS.

If I am honest, I don't really understand how most wholesalers operate, because it seems like they pass by so many opportunities to build HUGE amounts of equity on the front end through finding good deals - then building cash flow through holding. 

Flipping i think, and possibly multiple unit rentals.On a more personal note I am proud to say that I consider my honesty, to be my best quality.

It comes down in my opinion  to work ethic, honesty and integrity.

Thanks to all for the insight, advice, and honesty! 

To be honest, I just don't think it was my cup of tea.

If you're taxed at 35% between Fed & State, this equates to $3,500 cash back in your pocket.So would you really be looking at a $1,200-$2,000 annual loss...NO, and the appreciation is your bonus for being patient (at a $300k value and with a low inflation equivalent appreciation of 3% that's another $9,000 the first year).To be honest, I have never heard a California investor say they regretted turning their first primary into a rental.

To be honest, I just started the process a few days ago and have been reaching out to local banks in the area and I have several inquiries out there.
