. - The lack of lead time make its nigh impossible to evaluate if you have a normal day job.I am sure there are deals that are good, and there are reps who are ethical....but by in large it does not feel like a sustainable or practice "leads funnel" for building a sustainable real estate investment business and I would rather just completely ignore the use of wholesales and create my own marketing efforts for off market deals where I CAN do the proper due diligence.Is my opinion of wholesalers as a reliable and time effective way to get investments properties while properly being able to reduce risk on point or am I missing something?

Farming with direct mail is expensive and needs systems to sustain.

I'd appreciate some comments as to whether this property, and the quality of the rehab from the photos, is one that can command the $1,250/mo and whether or not it can sustain this in the long run.https://drive.google.com/folderview?

how can one buy more properties when the current ones aren’t sustaining themselves in the view of the 50% max DTI rule? 

We are expecting light rail also, between Durham, Chaoel Hill, and Raleigh.I think the reason people are moving here is, because while the costs of living are climbing, they are still lower in relation to other larger cities, but offer a more sustainable career path by transitioning here during this window of time to establish yourself before the economic boom in this area slows down.

And don't get me wrong, this seller's definitely isn't sustainable, but the solutions needed right now (ie: more inventory) isn't a quick fix.

Truth be told I know i cannot archive all of that through working for someone, I want to generate enough money to sustain a business and leave enough behind for my child too.
