Hi, my name is Shon however I go by my given middle name which is Sirtino. I'm new to real estate wholesale investing and I have reached out to people and gotten the same question "Where's your proof of funds?" I've r...

Time to flex my marketing muscles and find someone who wants to pick this property up.Thanks again for the help everyone!

I agree that having the financial muscle to take the property down AND complete can make all the difference.

Needing a $100k may be 5 days of cash-flow for someone like Grant, but that's a high enough number to scare most of us from ever getting started, me included.Sacrifice and exercise your saving muscle to prevent schemes and scams, shortcuts and bad partnerships.  

The want to make a little bit more on their investment without moving a muscle and I use capital for flips, I assume all liability, work and selling of property.

Also, being willing to take on distressed properties and muscle out the rehab will help you filter out some of the competition from the hedge-fund investors who are willing to pay top dollar (typically above asking price) for rent-ready properties in these markets.Rents are growing at 8% or more YOY in these markets. 

Even if they balk, it exercises your creative muscles. 

I have the next 10 weeks off and I have the hustle, muscle, and desire to work and bring value to someone who may or may not be looking for some help.

Also I would start looking for guys who's wife won't let them get a cabin/muscle car/New BBQ deck etc until they get rid of their pontoon boat.

Everytime I see 2 or 3 muscle or old school cars I stop and stare at them until they are out of sight, my son does it too, as does just about everyone else since they are great to look at and usually pretty loud compared to the hybrids you are used to seeing in Cali.
