Sometimes you have to do what you do not want to do short term to get where you want to get long term.

Check out my profile for more detail, but the short version is: I was a Realtor/Loan Officer in HI between 2004-2006, so I understand that aspect.

It has been about 3 weeks since I discovered wholesaling.

Most people now investing are doing so with little to no yield expectation in the short term.  

I promise I'll try to make this introduction short! 

Planning is great - I never was good at that - words are easy to put down on paper - other people's ideas are fun to experiment with and can make someone new in this business feel good for awhile I guess.Over 40 years ago I can recall as if it were yesterday - I was where many of the new folks on this site are today - I was motivated to make money in real estate - had a giant desire to create a little success (the low pay awful job I had, and a jerk for a boss just wasn't cutting it  - but I had motivation - i discovered quickly that it takes more than motivation to pay the bills.So this one seminar I took the guru said "set a goal, build your team and find a mentor".OK - I set a goal to get rich in real estate - to buy one house a month and to quit my job.

What you're talking about is a short sale.  

Discovering all of this has opened a lot of doors for me.

Can't just look short term, have to look long and evaluate if such action(s) are going to help or hurt you. 

Contractors – A Short PrimerFirst, before I begin, let me reiterate that if you’re a first-time flipper you should not be doing anything more than a cosmetic flip for your first time.
