That caused a little hiccup in the market. 

(don't worry I didn't' pay a dime over appraisal LOL)I moved here for economics, I personally expect home trends to increase for a few years with normal hiccups along the way, I'm riding the wave upwards.

We are now older and wiser and have an experienced investor mentoring us, who will be walking along side of us helping with our flip.

I know that where I invest, it was more of a "hiccup" to rents (and home values).

You don't get the proportional depreciation you do other places, your cash-on-cash return numbers don't look so hot, and you could bleed some cash (especially during any hiccups in occupancy) in the near-term, etc. so there's no free lunch.  

Should I just let this slide and wait until I'm ready to make offers or should I reach out to other wholesalers in an effort to work alongside them for experience?  

There are multiple items at "play" so I may need to provide more detail to fully resolve the issue.Quick Background:Bought a rental property in March 2010 with financed alongside two friends/partners.

Appreciate the feedback and will add some more costs to be prepared for any hiccups :)I did buy the property through the MLS.

I would love to work alongside people who are currently in the industry to network and get my feet wet.

There have been a couple hiccups, we have this all worked out though .
