Ideally, like many others, I'd like to build a real estate portfolio that will help offset my income and eventually allow me the ability to transfer into a real estate investing role full time.

I was passing out flyers for them to start, then my role expanded into occasionally showing houses (cash sales).

Be very clear in the rental agreement (or lease) about roles and responsibilities.

In my role as a contractor I have performed flips for myself and renovation work for clients.

As a general comment, I would recommend posting the purchase price as it plays a much bigger role than the number of units.

I think that wholesalers need to exercise caution and sound judgement when dealing with a prospective seller and perhaps inform the seller of the many possibilities that could possibly come up.  

Their role is to provide the dough, keep their mouths shut, and cash the checks you will be sending them once you successfully carry out your plan.

Now, I see a couple ways you could start moving out between the rocks.  1) Find deals and market them to others for sale.2) Find partners who are good at finding deals and better if they have some track record, and go raise money for them leveraging their experience / deals and helping them get bigger deals.Essentially, a partnerships of 2 to 3 folks could see broken up in the following roles:  1) Person that loves to find the deal; 2) Capital raiser; 3) Person that manages E2E aspects of the deal from acquisition, financing, renovations, property or asset mgt, etc.  

I'm not afraid of them but you need to exercise caution.
