But only digging themselves deeper.

@tarquinn curry, You don't mention what your methods/sources are now, but especially due to A) (nearly) topped out market, and B) likely loss of potential buyers due to the approved law to cap rental rates, wholesalers will need to find/negotiate even deeper discounts (likely a fix-n-flip) to make it more attractive to buyers.It will take more time and money to buy lists and find off-market deals, and more time and money marketing the property to buyers. 

I am very new to all of this and am eager to learn a little bit about everything before I dive into a focused niche.

Yet it never seems a fit when I discuss things a little deeper with them. 

You’re gonna get yourself even deeper into that hole with realtor/escrow fees.

Hi, Good work in diving into the numbers.We own property in that part of town also, just a few streets over. 

He goes to buy a deeper bigger sink, ripped yours off, widens your countertop sink cutout, only comes to find out, that the extra depth of the sink lowers the disposer outlet enough to not work with the existing drain stubout at the wall. 

It's never too late but I would encourage you to learn all the options before diving in.

Also I follow a few people on YouTube that has helped me grow a deeper understanding of REI.

Learn as much as you can before diving into this crazy world of investing!!
