Only you can decide what is a worthwhile return for your effort, time and money, considering the benifits and and value your "partner brings to the table for you first rehab across the country.  

Also is it more worthwhile to call or door knock the expired listings?

For investors who are regularly fixing and flipping homes, you may find it worthwhile to invest in some pieces of furniture that you can take along with you from project-to-project.

Although Grant is big time and doesn't really do anything with wholesaling I still find his advice worth while.

Many of us on BP, myself included, have experienced buying from someone who paid 2x the price 5 years earlier....So, yes, waiting is going to be worth while...

@Dan Red in addition to the point made by @Jeremy Chaudet, consider that if you already have 10 rentals in one county, and therefore presumably know at least decently well how things work in terms of licenses, permits, taxes, utilities, public records, landlord-tenant laws... and have at least some network of contractors, lawyers, property managers, lenders... is it really worth while to try to learn all of that and create a new network in a different county and state, with its own way of doing things?  

If I could add anything worthwhile to the discussion that hasn't been already stated, I'd say think about how you would respond if things don't go according to plan.

Maybe if you only make $20k per year it's worthwhile, but my time is worth more than that.

Given the lingering financial impact of COVID and current economic conditions it seems a very worthwhile thing to learn about for later investment and will likely form the bulk of my near-term purchases following these first ones, and may well be my predominate activity throughout 2023.International Investment:The idea of liquidating all personal and business assets whilst keeping my 4/2 sharehouse in Aus and househacking a small cash-bought SF in Maine is an appealing option, after all income/expenses/allocations however it would negatively cash flow $2.50/week assuming a stable currency rate.Though principal paydown is a valuable wealth-building tool, my desire for cash flow in addition to a lot of trapped equity in Australia's fairly rigid/monopolistic/regulated financial market (and an unavoidable double-taxed hit on eventual sale[4.ii] for which i'd not utilize a 1031 exchange[4.iii]) makes this an unattractive option.4.i - USDA loan qualifying region map (https://eligibility.sc.egov.us...)4.ii - Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) thresholds (https://www.americansabroad.or...)4.iii - Challenges with international 1031 exchanges (https://atlas1031.com/exchange...)If you've read this far, thanks so much for your attention.
