Thank you for all your wonderful contributions thus far; I feel like I'm in good hands.  

Again, offering some dollar amount to make it ok, might get you some cash in hand and head off an issue.I wish you big profits!  

The tenant has to be able to hand deliver their rent SOMEWHERE. 

This allows them to buy bulk and they always have stock on hand for the next flip.

Until you have the money to begin and/or the first hand success you will not find a investor/partner with any motivation to work with you.

I also seem to have a mental block around being far away from a rental property if anything goes sideways or otherwise requires some hands-on intervention.

Even if you plan to manage yourself always calculate property management to know the return if you were 100% hands off. 

So, that's where I feel if I could put together a good team that will oversee and manage the project first hand, then it would reduce the anxiety of the unknown. 

. :)  boy I should have bought every 50k lot I could have got my hands on .. but I was from Oregon did not really know.. and it was a huge leap building new construction next to houses that were literally falling down..

I've done 3 deals, my first one I worked alongside a mentor he held my hand through the whole deal and took over towards the end because I still didn't know or had experience dealing with banks, the other two I did on my own where I put up the Ernest and Option money and sent the contract off to title and I didn't even have to do a double closing because both my Seller and Buyer knew from the get-go what I want for providing my services and I'm all about fair deals, I hoenstly see wholesaling as a necessary evil.
