Our unit is slightly smaller but location he will trade off.He projects a loss of business of 30% during transfer.

. -- Don’t just be a “jack-of-all-trades" Even though I am. 5.

If I can swing by later today I'll see if I can get some more updates.The project manager said he's trying his best to get it done in 2 more weeks!!  

if you have a good wholesale network, at least you will keep that feeding, 5k here 3k there etc, at least it will give you more monthly cash than that of rehab. you have a full time job, you need to be there during a rehab. frequent at your home depot, they offer free education or training on basic trades.

Because you will never sell to him again, and he will trade many deals to save a nickel today. 

I am always learning new and more interesting "legal" tricks to the trade.

For that reason, I'd stack the deck in your favor, and 1) invest in the area you know the best (your area)and/or2) invest in an asset that you can swing by casually.  

I don't plan on being the guy swinging the hammer forever, but I am  much better equipped to negotiate contractors and to estimate renovation budgets and time lines.The point of this long story is it can be done.

I assume the trade off is less investment returns.After a few years the cash value is almost what I have put in so I took a loan at 5% for the downpayment on an investment property.

@Matt Vaughn Something that you could try if you want to mess with it and as mentioned don't want to store them for another project is to find out if your area has a Facebook buy sell trade site and join it, post the pic/add and go about it that way.
