I'm wanting to connect with investors in my area to talk real estate,  my friends are tired of hearing about it.

Hi guys, I am self employed with no proof of W2s, i make a living buying cars at dealer auctions and leaving them on a local used car lot on consignment, I have $30k liquid and around $90k tied up in my current vehicles, usually my  vehicle inventory is sub 11, I want to get into the real estate game but in my situation im guessing its hard to get a good deal in getting a loan, I am single, no debt or responsibilities , ideally i would like to start with a single family home but in the current market so high i would even consider condos/town homes.

I've got some questions.What types of leads are these (preforeclosures, tired landlords, tax delinquencies, etc.)?

For my wife and I, we would continue this process until 20% of the dividends exceeded our desired future living expenses, and donate a vast majority towards worthy causes.Lastly, we would also use a tax levered savings vehicle for the long-term “storage” of our money as well.

Then I ended up writing a book on multifamily investing, and told my wife I was in apartments for life (she was tired of all the restarts over the years!).  

Most really do not and kick tires.

I've used propstream and went after "tired landlords" list for rentals and had some luck there.

So it can be a bit tricky to do it this way, but ultimately, requiring that hold deposit will let you eliminate the risk of a tire kicker no showing on you when it comes to pay and you've already told everyone the house is rented.

Make Assumptions: Consider possible reasons like a tired landlord, property in rough condition, or a bad location.Confirm Assumptions: Ask the seller and consult local experts (property managers and real estate agents).Update Assumptions: Incorporate the new information.Adjust Analysis: Integrate the updated information into your analysis.

Leveraging WLI as a place to store excess cash, generating better returns/dividends than a savings account, AND taking a loan out for ANOTHER investment vehicle WHILE retaining your accounts interest/dividends seems like an advantageous setup for someone with the capital and discipline to do so.
