Regardless of the due diligence the buyer performed.  

I believe there can be great value in paid accountability as it really puts on pressure to perform and can provide you with someone to smack you out of paralysis.

I believe the best bet to get a good deal is to target pre-foreclosures with good chunk of equity.

If you have deep pockets, I think Austin will eventually reward you, but if you are a newbie in real estate looking to cash flow positive day one or shortly thereafter, Austin is probably not your best bet in TEXAS.  

A better solution, in my opinion, is not to rely on wholesalers,  as not only is it a dying breed due to the sheer incompetence they exhibit due to gurus' wrong instructions and teachings, but, wouldn't it be better to generate your own leads through a high performing website?

If your goal is less required documentation, DSCR is likely your best bet as most everyone as mentioned, possibly a bank statement program depending on your job structure. 

Or has it performed as advertised?

Immediately, I performed a Roth conversion.

This is a humongous audience to tap into so you have to take advantage of it sooner rather than later to find great real estate deals and motivated sellers.Your best bet to connect with people quickly is to run Facebook ads and promoted posts.

That’s the best bet.
