My current 9-5 is in manufacturing and I also do various foreclosure inspections part-time but I have been working too long in both fields, not seeing any fruits of my labor I have decided to take on the title of Rookie Wholesaler.

It gives go-juice to those of us in the trenches, wondering how to get to the holy grail of the money tree that delivers fruit. . . on a monthly basis!

Some of my biggest lessons learned are to:1 - "sell nuts to squirrels."

Now I start my day with fruit and maybe a smoothie.

There's a house right next door to one of my units that I would love to buy - it's in a great location and shares the property line with my unit, and it's a bigger house - but it is at least $15k overpriced and they won't entertain offers lower than asking, which is nuts.

I've been trying to understand the nuts and bolts of how out-of-state wholesaling type deals can happen, and yours is a neat little real life, recent scenario to draw some pragmatic take-aways from.

Talking to a PM a couple of times a month, drive by occasionally, but take yourself out of the nuts-and-bolts.

I deal daily with contractor that dont perform and it drives me nuts!

I've owned rental properties before, and it about drove me nuts.

still researching the nuts and bolts on this one.Not sure if any of this helps, but at least may give you some ideas that you could investigate further.Jeff V
