If u plan on wholesales in OH and ur passionate about it get your license that way u dont have lose  out on that opportunity on the wholesale....as for marketing ive personally have not done it but advice ive heard other wholesaler say is build a buyers list then go out and find the houses in distress and make yhe contract there... also if you have zero experience in wholesales go work for a company that does learn the trick of the trade especially of the legal paperwork involved than make it your business.

:@Ali BooneAnd give up a lot of money doing so too It's a trade-off.

I don't really want to go out of state,   If I can't visit and be personally involved with my properties I might as well buy into a REIT or the stock market instead.The triplex is a more modern building that I've sunk a lot of work into and is in nice shape ; It just recently got upzoned to residential small lot,   and I currently intend to hold for another 3-5 years,   then it will get traded up as well.So I'm not getting out,  but I have modified my next-level plan to trade up and out of the seattle market.   

I am in the process of selling some of my SFR and Condo flip / holds that provided a good return on the flip but not the best Cap Rate or Cash on Cash returns so I am in the process of trading up via 1031 exchange to tri-plex / 4-plex / 8 plex etc.Would love to hear what's happening in different markets out there.

I won't share any specific trade secrets of theirs. 

I worked with some new trades and should have looked at a couple more quotes but resources were sparse for availability.

I’m not a cpa, so I would absolutely be 100% sure what the tax consequences are before I cashed out any retirement funds.

Is it any legal consequences of doing it?

You pay interest to yourself.Definitely check with a tax pro since this is high risk, but my understanding is that if you can liquidate a 401k early and fully pay it back to the 401k within 2 months, there are no tax consequences.

My risk mitigating factor is that I have been in the trades for 20yrs and we could afford to drop to a single income family for a year.Is there anything that gives you a head up?
