@Camille Romero curious as to how you would remotely wholesale properties in Detroit or Ohio?

We have one or two quality wholesalers that we are open to working with.

if you're in St Pete frequently you'll need to turn some of those vacation trips into work trips - networking, building a team, and trying to find a distressed property.but the trick is then going to be moving quickly if either 1) a distressed property hits the MLS (unusual, but not unheard of) or 2) a distressed property comes to you another way (from your network, from a wholesaler.)how you will move quickly enough to lock it down and buy it, if you're in RI? 

Hitting local meetups is smart—Tampa has a great investor community where you can connect with wholesalers and lenders.

Discovery: I found this property through a local wholesaler specializing in off-market deals.

That to me is true wholesale.. buy it and actually own it and then resell.

The wholesaler had no idea.

The most important thing for you to learn as a wholesaler is repair costs.

Quote from @Kody Smith: without getting too deep into my finances, what my strategy is...1. take loans to buy properties (leverage)2. fix/flip for day to day cash flow income3. use some of the fix/flip income to buy consistent cash flow through:- business acquisition, - commercial properties (MF and store fronts),I have no intention of doing ALL of the management myself, I will hire management as needed (medium term goal)my expected core role is money provider, evaluating the numbers, making decisions, and connecting with investors, wholesalers, lenders, contractors, and property owners.while I am just on step 2 of the journey, I am looking toward step 3 to stabilize, and not worry about if house prices drop mid project or not (or not worry as much) So to be fair this is more about obtaining and growing a real estate business not simply buying rentals for cashflow.

I am wanting to make sure I will be working with a title company that is familiar with wholesale assignment contracts, seller financing, lease with an option to purchase and possibly sandwich leasees with an option to purchase.
