Given the lack of activity / buyers in the market at this time with rates, would you reccomend holding and renting it until the market is better to sell in? 

I'm enjoy the challenges of finding creative solutions through the numbers and negotiating what can work for both the buyer and seller. 

Also, newer wholesalers only see about half of their contracts get dispo'd and closed (sometimes less) because of the reason just mentioned or a lack of Buyers to dispo to. 

Again, buyer truly beware, I'll be around in 3 years when everyone is dumping these properties because they are so underwater and I can buy them without the burden of suncoast waiting to sting me.

A lot of it has to do with location and time.If they are local owners looking at 1-2 LTR properties, I'll assist with identifying cash flowing/near cash flowing properties, assist them in the purchase as their buyers agent and assist with tenant procurement, listing, etc. but they can typically handle day to day management from there.Furnished properties, whether that be MTR or STR, are a lot more involved, as I'm sure you're aware of!

Unlike some buyers, I ALWAYS go look at the properties before the sale and discovered that the vacant lot had an active railroad track on it and therefore was unbuildable, and would remain unbuildable until the railroad removed their track. 

These are high quality properties that require very little or no deferred maintenance for the Buyers.  

North Park buyers might love a historic Craftsman with modern touches, while La Jolla buyers want high-end finishes and panoramic views.

Jaron Walling said something that caught my attention, "search for and buy a bad roof, leverage it during the negotiation"....especially of the property has been sitting on the market longer than normal for the current market, a "bad roof" might be a gift from the real estate genie.My point is this: get good at estimating and fixing a bad roof (or any particular problem found with most houses that sit on the market longer) and you'll get comfortable buying/fixing properties that scare off other buyers. 

I’m not a first time home buyer but wife would qualify, I want to put down less than 10%.
