In the last 18 months various states have instituted new rules, regulations or laws related to (1) need for licensure to wholesale (2) restrictions on marketing of a property in which you do not have ownership and (3) disclosure requirements when dealing with a homeowner that makes it clear to the homeowner that the contact signed with the wholesaler is not a definitive “sales” contract, therefore making it less likely home owners will sign4.

There is a meet-up on the last Thursday of every month.

(I ended up getting my real estate license last year as a side hustle too) because I was dead set on flipping/building homes.

We have an upcoming meeting with them to see how we can extend the loan a few more years to make the total monthly payment including installments for the annual property tax bill, which we’ve had to pay for them this year since they were late the last couple years and had to pay interest to the county. 

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

I sold my Temple property last year and it was good timing.

I bought my first property for $107,500 put 10% down borrowed 80% LTV from Wells Fargo at 11.75% rate and my father lent me the last 10% and charged me interest the same as Wells Fargo did 11.75%.  

Perhaps the only homes that will last that long are the reinforced concrete structures that David mentioned.

But many of my clients are getting awesome deals in the last few months, whether on or off the MLS.

Well this is going to be more mandated by your investor base than anything a mentor can help you with (i.e. there are groups raising money targeting low double digit returns, with limited cash flow, and other groups that need to show mid-20s to get investor interest).Lastly, if you are looking at a mentorship: really hammer on HOW they will help you be successful.
