@Darren Budahn I live in Rochester NY or the rust belt. 

Once you have a few under your belt with them you can get some better terms as well like higher LTV's and such. 

I am interested in the BRRR strategy and house flipping and would also love to offer any services that I could potentially provide to more experienced investors in hopes of learning the ropes and getting a few deals under my belt.

Like I said before I primarily wholesale deals here in Atlanta, Georgia and I have a few deals under my belt.

CA FLA and TX are the most populas states so more opps to defaultMI and OH  are in the rust belt and in areas that have more houses than people.

We have a little over a year under our belt with the SFH and it has gone pretty smooth.

To me, it's really a matter of just getting the properties under my belt and knowing that they're getting me one step closer to where I want to be.I can tell you this though...

I know its treated me well all these years and has led me to some pretty incredible financial adventures that wholesaling simply could not do.But if I lived in some of the rust belt markets or other markets were there are literally more homes than people to put in them. .I equate that as nothing more than being a used car salesmen.. price points are the same. style is the same.. once your done your done.Where real estate gets good is 10 to 15 years into it ALL of your business should come from referrals.. this simply will not happen in wholesaling.. wholesaling your just as good as the last sucker you talked into selling their house to you undermarket  :)

I myself have been wanting to get into learning about the stock side of investing but for now, I know that I have more control over the profits on real estate than I do with paper assets so I'm waiting until I have a few properties under my belt before I dive into that.

I suggest that if you do continue to do it yourself, get a real snow blower!
