I now am looking all over the country, thinking of trying to find a duplex that’s has land where i can add more units in the future, or just a small apartment building, honestly I dont know at the moment just wanted some feedback from people who know more than me Hi Jadan, I was in the same shoes when I was priced out of where I lived (Portland OR) so I decided to move to Columbus OH.

I really appreciate your honest feedback.

Hey everyone, I just finished developing a detailed guide on how to read and dispute appraisal reports effectively, and honestly, I’m amazed at how often small errors can significantly undervalue a property.

to be honest, on my first flip...

Honestly 350 days a year I don’t even think about it. 12 days a year I wonder if everyone paid and if not will they pay, for about 30 minutes.

Honestly, I've given up on finding cashflow anywhere close to the city due to rates and prices, BUT some other opportunities you may want to consider are:Live in flip - mentioned earlier in this thread, always a solid option in any market.Condo conversions - good money to be made from this and since they're a little trickier than a traditional flip there tends to be more inventory available that would allow for a profit.ADUs - come February 2nd, ADUs are allowed BY RIGHT on any SF property in the state, owner occupied or not.

Lets be honest.

Honestly, I think you're estimated expenses are a bit low.

To be honest, I’m too busy to be making this decision right now.

Quote from @Adam Macias: Wholesaling as it is today will be a thing of the past.It’ll truly be strange to even hear people and gurus trying to make big money off it.The more people try wholesaling but then end up not having an end buyer or cancelling contracts or trying weird things like novations, the more all of real estate will be regulated and cause requirements like licensing to be able to transact more than just your personal resident purchase.Which I don't know why hasn't happened sooner.Here's all the states (in red or yellow) requiring a license to wholesale or at least have started the process:Credit: REITipsterI think licensing and regulation is a beautiful thing that should happen if you plan to be an wholesaler and do more than one deal... which is going to be the case for anyone taking this business seriously.Or even it being regulated to need a real estate agent to do more than one deal outside of buying a personal residence.I've had plenty of failed attempts with agents in pursuit of wholesale deals and I know exactly why, it's not because the agent couldn't find me deals, it's just not practical to think there's opportunity for the numbers a wholesaler needs to make a profit on top of everyone else needing to these days.Because the only sellers who truly can sell at a deep enough discount are usually those who ran out of time and just didn't do something sooner with their situation.I know many coaches and gurus will disagree with me but there’s no regulations on youtube gurus and what they teach either.If we look at the current state of the market in hot cities, the availability of online resources to the average homeowner, how many deals can you possibly believe are available at 70% of ARV?
