They should be able to let you know about their general terms as well as loan size.

As I realized, you want to make it very well known who you're looking for.

I am pretty confident I can fill the vacancy immediately, and probably charge a higher rent as well.

This works reasonably well for many situations, but it can lead to issues when you happen to have a particularly wasteful tenant that uses excessive amounts of water and/or electricity.

It is a slower way to get started, but 7 years later I am doing well.

Establish a solid reserve fund (3-6 months of rent) to cover unexpected expenses or vacancies, which are inevitable over time.Make sure you're well-versed in local landlord-tenant laws to avoid legal complications.

Wholesaling skills translate well with both buy and hold/fix and flips. 

@Franck Armand, I'm not sure who informed you, but those respective markets are all well past the gentrification phase.

Also having that capital in your account opens up opportunities like foreclosure auctions and tax sales as well. 

Last week, I hung a wire trellis and attached it to the back of the side fence.
