@Barb Knowles If you're just starting out, you may want to build up more cash before you start buying and holding if funds are low.

My team and I are looking to partner with muti family investors around the  country, whatever it looks like, we specialize in acquisitions and have been wholesaling for about 5 years, we would like to start as equality partners and bring deals to others we have systems to hit a lot of leads and experience in talking with all kind of seller's, we would love to bring vulve to others and slowly build up and eventually be full  time in real estate.

I heard from a local they use garbage and sand to build up the lot (yikes!).

You could JV with an established wholesaler and split the assignment fee until you build up a buyers list. 

Build up cash. 

I would continue to look at other houses in your price point and try and build up your cash reserves.

Quote from @Garrett Kroll: @Matthew Masoud can you share how you’ve been able to build up your direct bookings so successfully?  

But my calculation reports show that as the years go on, the return rate growth is rapid, at the same time that equity buildup is the same..specifically after year 10.

Here's a PARTIAL list:Office rentComputers, printers & softwareInternet & phone billOffice furnitureOffice supplies: paper, postage, ink, etc.Office liability insuranceAuto expenses: monthly payment, insurance, gas, maintenance, registration/plate feesBroker license fees: annual, monthly board & MLS fees, continuing education fees, E&O insuranceEquipment: lockboxes, signs, etc.Business income tax preparation and paymentsStaff payroll & payroll taxes Time Tasks: answering phones, calling past due tenants, scheduling tours, taking marketing pics, processing those pics, writing ads, researching rent amounts, posting ads, explaining to owners how rent determined & showing where ad posted, opening & processing mail, posting payments, bank deposits, scanning documents & posting to owner & tenant portals, explaining accounting to owners so they understand their monthly statements, taking pics/videos of repairs, finding reputable handymen and contractors, confirming they're properly licensed & insured and tracking annually, verifying repairs done properly, processing invoices for utility bills, repairs, taxes, city inspections, scheduling periodic property evaluations/inspections with tenants that don't want strangers in their homes, explaining to owners why taking so long, and more & more & more...

I have been looking for opportunities for a while now for a fix and flip to start building capital to eventually build up a rental portfolio.
