This transaction is of course VERY unusual, but I have done similar deals for 20 - 50% real discount over the course of my investing career.2.

There're quite a few more opportunities/strategies to consider, especially for high-net-worth and/or high-earnings investors.

Partnering with a wholesaler sounds fine, but check the real estate licensing laws in your state before bringing a buyer for a commission.You might consider getting your real estate agent's license and legitimately earn what your skills, drive, and experience truly command. exactly wholesaling or bird dogging is not a life time or long time occupation  RE sales can be lifetime and if your any good at it at about year 10 you should be getting all your sales from referrals and such.

Congrats on the success of your investments and earning your license.

While the home has a solid cashflow, in order to move forward with our investing career, selling makes the most financial sense. 

@Mindy Jensen As a contractor myself I've personally experienced this many times over the course of my career.

I love real estate and the Richmond, VA area, which is why I wish to pursue a career that can educate me on how I can invest in real estate in the future in Richmond.

Quote from @Hector Espinosa: Quote from @Todd Anderson: Hector, great question.As some others have said I would look to do what you are good at for a career.  

I am very big on building equity, largely due to my career situation.

Upside is you get to defer your taxes and earn a yield in the meantime.
