Quote from @Jason Baker: After leaving the real estate market in 2024 and bringing in the new year of 2025, what are the best updated strategies/approaches to be a successful wholesaler in the Miami Market?  

I say it is the first deal because it was brought to me by the owner before placing any other deals under contract (which I have done in multiple states) legally, and ethically.

If I were to approach a seller of a $200k home, and they had a remaining mortgage of $100k, could I get a new bank financed loan for that $100k, and have the seller finance the remaining $100k of equity to me?   

We have always kept inherited tenants, gradually brought up the rent.

You'll probably get better service approaching it that way than hiring a professional manager anyway.  

We hear less BPRE episodes featuring individual investors, and it missing the breadth of STR and LTR knowledge that David Green and Rob brought into the discussion with the guests. 

It will be an identical home to the one I’m currently building, and I expect to need no more than $160K in financing.I’m not looking to overextend myself by taking on too much debt, but I want to make sure I’m approaching this in the right way. 

My wife and I have overhauled our personal budget to reflect the 'pay yourself first' approach (allocate in order: income comes in -> invest -> donate -> fixed expenses -> variable expenses -> fun $$).We are looking to see what experienced people generally recommend for a holding tank for that 'invest' allocation while we target our first real estate deal.What financial vehicles have you guys used that works well for this?

When it comes to assessing maintenance costs, one of the best approaches is to request itemized breakdowns for larger repairs.
