Not so much.... unless you're exceptionally good at multi-tasking and can negotiate with buyers / sellers / investors, etc. while doing demo, framing out walls, putting up drywall, painting, etc.You should also consider your own skills, licensure, etc. versus professionals in the skilled trades and other occupations (attorneys, accountants, property managers, etc.).My $0.02...

Well, I know that it is a very minor skill, but it was quite satisfying.

They simply find out what other investors in the area have paid for similar houses.They assign the contract around the same cost using comps and using good old sales skills to put the house under contract as low as possible.

An instructor who has mastered RE can take any strategy and teach it along legal and ethical guidelines, problem is finding a master of the art and science of real estate.Long, long ago, my dad was a music teacher, had marching bands.

Either funds, credit, time, construction industry experience, lending/banking, ability to find amazing deals, negotiation skills, etc.People will help you if you can help them.You can do it if you are very serious and work very hard.

But everything is relative based on your skills and experiences. 

Hey BP Community,I'm still new to real estate investing and the art of the wholesale.
