Drop them right in the middle of some remote, well armed, western town where they're sure to be taken care of.

I get listed homes that "wholesalers" don't control.If you wanted to get back into wholesaling in California and western states I can put you to work full time.

If you want strong cash flow, the mid-western markets will just about all do better then Orlando.  

It is right near Western Michigan University. 

hi frank. there is, of course, that old saying " it takes money to make money". thats true enough, but a revised edition should read " it helps to have money to make money". lots of people start out with little to nothing in their pockets. you can too, you just have to find the right deal, and believe me, thats gonna be hard. borrowing money is a decent start, but remember, you are also increasing your debt load. you have to do it while also increasing your net worth, or at least, without decreasing your net worth. you will have to find a property that is worth at least what you are paying for it now. there are deals out there for nothing down, but most of them are shams. properties that no one wants also have a reason no one wants them. my brother, and investor in western michigan, has actually bought houses at tax sale auctions for as little as $20. there is a reason he got them that cheap....... no body else wants them. you have to ask yourself why. is the local government that hard to work with on the rehab???

Good to see other western suburbs peeps on here.  

@Christina Shearer Welcome to KY, you are actually in a great place for rentals with Western Kentucky University being there, no need to go to Nashville there is more than enough opportunity right where you are.

I'd take another look at one of your other original ideas, the cheap block homes in Western Pasco. 

I live in Tarpon Springs (just over the county line and work western Pasco county from Pinellas County on the south to Hernando on the North.
