Pretty much every activity their hearts desired, we allowed them to explore.  

I hear from wholesalers ALL the time and most fail... either because they have unrealistic expectations or they are hooked on the get rich quick schemes sold by gurus... having said that, you seem to have a true desire and PASSION to succeed - -- Passion is what sets the successful apart from the average.  

I'm putting together a listsource list for SFR in my target area, and I'm seeing 255 results for my criteria unless I add in Equity Unknown to my equity filter (30%+), in which case it goes to a much more desirable 1052 records.Am I wasting time and money including the Equity Unknown or is it worth the additional investment to cast a bigger net?

I have no desire to create cash flow that will allow me to leave my current field- I love my work and my business is in great shape.

You can get higher efficient boilers and furnaces for Natural Gas as well as I find it is much more desirable from a tenant or new owner perspective.  

The move in fee is desirable.

It has always been my desire to do this full time.

It's more of the areas desirability from the stand point of a potential renter or owner occupant.  

And by great location, I know you mentioned desireable tourist areas like like cap hill or near 16th st mall...or am I just as well looking in Cerry creek area or Wash Park?

I have a 20 unit multifamily near the Pasadena City College in LA (this is rent control but considered pretty desirable and not likely to severely crash in a decline).
