And if you want that income to get a little boost right out of the box buying a distressed property that needs you to add value will quite often get you a higher initial cash flow than a turn key, especially in today's environment where most people think their properties are made of gold. 

Definitely start with the links @Dmitriy Fomichenko recommended, if you're truly interested in wholesaling learn to:1) Estimate rehab costs or link up with somebody that knows them, J Scott's books which can be found here are great starting points2) Learn to ACCURATELY determine ARV, I see far to many wholesalers boosting ARV by selectively choosing only comparable that support their targeted ARVs and passing over ones that may be better comparable to the property but do not support their inflated ARVsIf you have any questions feel free to reach out, best of luck!

However, artificially low interest rates actually create cheaper credit, boosting demand (not the quantity demanded at a given price) for real estate (in theory): they push the entire demand curve out.

So if you can do it, 1 night stays are a huge boost in rank.

You could ask your loan officer to run a What If simulator to see how much of a score boost you would get by paying down your balances even further.

If so, have you considered leveraging short term rentals in your home to boost your savings?

If you feel that there are maintenance items that can help you get immediate income boost, you could get a loan (maybe interest only), so you can address the items right away, then bring in income to repay the loan.

Needless to say HFF was a great foundational piece, which helped me understand "how" things worked and boosted me forward. 

And by the way, that's your Cash on Cash Return.The ROI of the investment is equal to the Cashflow + Profit when you sell.There are only ways 2% CCR makes sense:You can increase the rent and therefore increase the cashflow; and/orIf you're sure that the property will appreciate quickly, example: you learned before the public knows that there's an approved manufacturing development nearby that will boost the property values.

And if you are willing to put in the elbow grease its possible to find a dump property and really boost the value to make the numbers work.
