The fear of renting while out of town is common, but it's easy to overcome, especially when you have friends and a handyman.

I carry the standard home owner insurance and a separate $1M liability policy. 

But just hating on wholesaling in a wholesaling forum is so unbelievably pointless. its not dead per se  but it is starting to be regulated as it should.. oregon just passed their version. where to wholesale you now need a license and over site by the RE commission.. along with criminal back ground and a BOND.. and as we know not everyone can pass either of those with the bond being the tough one if you have bad credit your not getting a bond.

The investors that I work with find this much less risky and a much faster way to get to ROI. 

I currently have $350 dollars that is missing from a chargeback reversal from a tenant that has a document case with Amex and a statement to prove the money was sent back to me. 

And folks that need to do that dont have the capacity to deal with a loan that has been called and a seller that is madder than a wet hornet if you goof up their credit.Then the other major issue glossed over by everyone is there is a minute amount of sellers that will even entertain these transactions and most of the time your paying a premium for the asset.

Flips themselves are hard to come by and as you said its a job not an investment. 

Hi Simon,Scaling from single-family to multifamily is a solid move, and a 10-15 unit building is a great next step.
