Unfortunately, I'm not the blind one...

People are blinded in my experience by the fact that illegals toil away at some of the most back breaking work around.

I didn't buy them blind (well 2 were sight unseen - my mother checked them out for me).

We've done the obvious: Pay property taxes, insurance, property management, utilities, leveraged nearly everything we could squeeze out of the properties with mortgages, write off interest, take depreciation on the value of the building, recorded all expenses down to $1 for duplicate keys, taken mileage for every trip to the bank, properties, courthouse, Home Depot, showings etc, we outsource all the contractor work and then broken down the quotes to painting, repairs, supplies, 5  year deprecation items, and 27.5 year depreciation (a contractor installing Blinds, Laminate Floors & Windows would have 3 breakout prices), we write off meals, permits, REIA meetings, BP Subscriptions, record CPA costs.

Every time a tenant sees that truck, they feel a blinding stab of pure hatred.

Sounds like you went in blind without a checklist or scripts so that you have no idea what to say when a seller calls you.

I do plan to go into wholesale to get started, but I don't want to do it blindly, it's just to get my foot in the door and for me to learn the ropes. 

Recency bias causes you latch on to recent memories, but that makes you blind to other possible outcomes.
