Most people who want to start in wholesaling think that it's a great way to earn income to become an investor.

I just found out that I do not qualify for a conventional loan due not having 1099/self-employment earnings for at least a year.

My career has been centered around helping businesses scale through strategic sales initiatives, but I’m now channeling that same drive into real estate investing to build long-term wealth.My wife and I are in our early 40s, both work full-time, and are raising four amazing kids.

After reading Rich dad poor dad when I was 16 and began reading more of his books it was clear that a duplex was the way to jump start my career as an investor and more superior than a single family when it came to cashflow.

Although I have a high income my assets are not immense and the insurance is protection against future earnings/STR  I will probably buy a primary home in next 5 years but happy for now where I am.  

I also have $102k in a money market account that currently earns about 4.5%.

You have to "earn" those returns either way, whether investing directly or giving your money to a syndicator. 

Learning from those who had already paved the way, I earned my real estate and mortgage broker licenses, equipping myself with the tools to dive into the market.But knowledge alone wasn’t enough—I needed mentorship.

You will earn much more with a college degree than without and you will understand the world better.

Keep more of that hard earned money in your pocket. 4.
