This is handy especially when the wholesaler is lying to the owner as well about their intentions. 

You need income to qualify for loans, you can learn how to manage rentals well (something most landlords never do), you will figure out which communities/properties make the best investments, can earn an above-average paycheck, and may even find some investment properties before they hit the market.

Those skills will serve you well in BRRRRs and flips.

Well not sure what you're thinking about with automation?

Ryan, I appreciate your insight as well.

Personally, I invest in properties in C-Class neighborhoods in my market (East Linden and Southern Hilltop), and they’ve been cash-flowing well so far.

She is well established and is recognized as one of the top investors and brokers here in the Indianapolis market. 

Id like to enjoy another stream of income to eventually phase out my day job, so that I can focus on acquiring commercial properties as well as a business or 3.  

I also assume you’re investing in an area with increasing rents so look at 3-5 years out with increased rents an it better cashflow well if rent isn’t stagnant.
