Hey everyone, I wanted to start of my real estate career with Wholesaling and I wanted to ask the BP society to see what's the best way to look for my first property, and what you guys recommend or if there is anything I should be cautious about. 

This was not only wasteful from an energy perspective, but it was also putting undue stress on the newer $50k boiler that was installed by the previous owner! 

I just don't know I can handle the stress of lowering the rent and interviewing/leasing to sub-par tenants for another year or longer.

The sewer line tends to be the most successful silent killer because it's not part of the standard inspection regiment.Whatever the locally similar version of that is for you . . . inspect against those and make sure you don't have an AVOIDABLE surprise.I stress AVOIDABLE because you will have surprises, you just want to make sure they are not things you should have safeguarded against.  

It’s another option, once leases are up, if this situation ends up being so stressful/expensive you don’t want to go through another winter this way.

You’ll also reduce your personal stress enormously, which is important too.Colorado is hot hot hot right now, so I think it’ll be difficult to cash flow unless it’s a house hack.  

If you have a wife, girlfriend, significant other, or someone else that has influence on your plan, then BOTH of you need to be on the same plan.If you two are not then your plan and relationship could be strained beyond capacity.I would suggest you and girlfriend work out your together plan and both buy in to the same plan because this game could easily lead you down the path of pointing fingers at each other and ruining your relationship.Once you settle that then I believe you will have a better base to begin.My point is don't get into something together and then say my girlfriend doesn't want to do something.If you are together then it has to be WE or it will put undue stress on an already stressful situation.My 2 cents.Life can teach you alot (49 years old, property investor, married 27 years, father of kids your age)Good luck!!!

That said, I was actually planning to do 20% just because I feel a little stressed about seeing the high monthly payment if I have to have the property vacant during renovation period.

, yard work, cleaning service), and most definitely you can sprinkle some more stress in there at times.

Keep looking, most times its just people don't want the stress of doing the loan.
