I'm eager to learn the ropes, connect with experienced investors, and contribute to this fantastic community.A little about me:- Location: Bellevue , PA-Focus: Real estate wholesaling, with a long-term goal of building a portfolio of rental properties.- Background: Took some real estate classes before but really a lot of self learning on creative financing - Current Goal:To close my first wholesale deal within the next few months by learning from seasoned investors and applying proven strategies.I'm here to absorb as much knowledge as possible, so if you have any tips or resources, I’m all ears!

Also any tips for automating this as much as possible and how to protect the property financially and property management would be appreciated.I ALMOST understand the rental arbitrage strategy if building a company scaling with say 30 + units and looking for high short term cash flow.

I am guessing you like the numbers you see in Strawberry Mansion and Norristown (Montco not Philly) but do you know for a fact that at those numbers, you can do a full gut rehab and be at a number that will allow you to profit, and along the way make some sizable mistakes especially if this is your first project . . . 

When I see good deals I tend to jump in vs. waiting for this option but I still think this is the best option if you can afford to wait.2) Take out a loan from my 401K.
