For a select few, this can be true, but wholesaling is much harder to get off the ground.

When I search for rentals as a user and not as a landlord the search result shows as apartments with 3 units and when I click it then it brings up all 3 houses and says which unit the user want to go to.I paid for this premium listing and want my listing to be separated out.

This deal was brought us off-market by a friend.

For example, the turnover rate on Realtors is like 88% a year or something like that.

Another item to think about on this when getting into flipping or rentals in smaller communities is the vendors or contractors that are in the area.

This would be a joint venture with me offering to just provide a percentage of profits and equity in the property in return.  

Yes this is probably the best strategy for brand new people, but they need to study well and apply (like anything). 

It could very well be its all lost but seems like a big jump to conclusions by investors that basically did very high interest rate investing and expected  CD like performance..

It’s paid off, I would “like” to leave it that way & maximize the cash flow while paying down the heloc between the rental & other income.  

There are many here in my local area and your area is likely to have the same type of meetings.Most of the deals that I fund are by meeting investors in person at these groups and creating strong relationships.
