The best way to learn about how to really invest in real estate is to read books, listen to good podcasts, and pair that with going to in-person meetups so you can see people just like you, married with 3 kids, who are making it work for them.

you are going up against people and companies that spend thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars a month in marketing. 

Hoping to connect with some great people here on this topic!

Just know that it is a "no days off" kind of business and very mechanical.I would suggest documenting your process via video so that eventually you can bring people on to replace the different hats you will be wearing.Keep in mind of these 5 components of any wholesale business.lead generation, deal sourcing, underwriting, marketing, transaction coordination.

I have seen these circumstances; people die, go out and buy a car, lose their job, etc… Just my own two cents, I’m not an attorney, just play one on TV

The lot works and ok with living in one unit, just trying to find people that have executed them in Los Angeles City.

With the cost of utilities and the level of comfort people feel is mandatory now there is no way I would want to be on the hook for it.
