Still the big component here is time, which is lost.Personally, I hire all low-value work.

Actually they did use this comp on the Sales Approach to figure out the avg per room and bedroom value.

15% decline in cooper & lumber, key components of housingJune housing starts dropped 9.9% in JuneHousing permits dropped 7.5%25% of the housing buyers are investors/institutionsJob creation is flatMortgage interest rates have risen about 1% (It has been written that for each 1% increase in mortgage rates 1 million less buyers qualify to buy a house.)Be careful out there!

Welcome Dustin, you do have the key components to start: a WILL TO WIN and persistence, unfortunately you had to purchase the guru pitch but you have to enjoy the journey mistakes and all.

The other 2 components of projected returns in many of these opportunities is mortgage pay down (typically equivalent to 3% return per year, on average) and projected property appreciation (typical projections are 3-5%).

But with Solo 401k on top of that you have profit sharing component allowing you to shelter even more of your income.

I think its definition can help bring some clarity to all this.The actual definition of wholesaling really has two components.

Clearly, you need to accumulate at least enough to do a private loan to a flipper in order to start taking advantage of the self-directed component of the Solo 401(k).  

My HVAC guy works with me this way:  Relatively minor repairs:  He does the work at a competitive rate.Major repairs - component replacements: He lets me purchase the unit(s) and he places them in service.Check costs of AC units coming out of Florida:  You can't beat the price and shipping is prepaid.By the way, why are you needing to replace the ductwork?  

I've thought of that myself - - but with only 6 units, I didn't see it working out.Two concept on LL provided services (of any kind)you have to forbid competing services, eg no one has access to the roof and/or may mount a disk to any component of the building then take responsibility to keep it operationalThat said, you could then approach this facility as a marketable feature ( Internet & Cable TV included), OR attempt to get an income line from the service, like Laundry.
