Might be different according to each state but I've heard wholesalers putting cloud on title when sellers try to switch around.

I have nothing bad to say about them since I haven't worked directly with them and they must be doing something right if they are one of the biggest ones in the area.

Best thing would be to get started hustling for another wholesaler to see if it really is what you think it is.The only way to be a good wholesaler is to build relationships with sellers, know repair costs and ARV, and understand that each seller has a problem to solve and do not need a cash offer.

Duplexes and multifamily are an option as well, although the dynamics are a little different.If I was still living in BR, I'd househack somewhere in Mid City - capital heights, hundred oaks, poets corner, overpass, etc.

Some of these might be too small for an STR, but the immersion blender, toaster, and hand mixer would work in most. 

For high end luxury STR where people are shooting for 65% occupancy after stabilization.

It NEVER works out well for the owner.

PM in these parts can be much different AM.These mid-west homes and neighborhoods can be deceiving.

The hard money lender financed the rehab, so it ended up being $0 out of pocket for me.

The lender seems to believe that the only rent by the room strategy that exists is renting rooms to college students and his quote to me was "more people, more leases, more problems".What do I know??
