I would not worry about who is buying it for what reason.This is the same reason I do not worry about who is selling it and for what reason.What matters is that you have chosen a price acceptable to you and this person is able to give it to you.

In the US its called FIRPTA but in other countries similar rules apply.I have chosen to invest in properties in my country of origin.

@Mason BudnickiHi Mason,I made a wholesale workbook for my son that I be happy to share with you.Let me know if you’d like a copy and I’ll send it your way.Best of luck and congratulations for your interest in real estate at the age you have chosen to start.

I've chosen to only use property management since the $100-180/month saved isn't worth my time.I only do multi families properties since cash flowing on SFH's without rehabbing or self-managing is tough.The strong W2 income really helps keep the financing easy and down payments easier/quicker to come by, so I intend to continue to work and target properties than cash flow with property management. 

I would love to see everyone succeed in real estate or their chosen field, but I have seen the results of folks, especially the elderly who have lost nearly everything they had folks who promised but did not deliver. 

@Kevin CogginsAll of my stocks are dividend producing, but I currently don't take the dividend distributions and have chosen to have them automatically reinvested in said stock. 

Ultimately, YOU need to determine which investment is better for the investment strategy you have chosen for yourself.As a side note, you DEFINITELY need reserves for anything you do. 

We have chosen a top notch national Professional Management Company to work with.

And maybe it will be less boring if you see it as part of a master plan you've chosen for yourself to get ahead, an answer to a problem so you'll be sure to succeed in the business you really want to be in.

I'm on plenty of email lists from "virtual wholesalers" and the ARV's are laughable at best, and the repair costs seem to be chosen by throwing a dart at a board.
