I would say listen to your heart (s)...not just your head (s). 

It has been a wealth of information for me, and you'll find some of the most generous, kind hearted people on this site.

Or I could live for me and my future husband and we could have a beyond beautiful place that makes my heart so happy, but then I would be out my cash if an investment deal came up soon.I want to be practical and think for my future, but I also want a home (I have been living so sub-par and saving for the past years).

I know for certain real estate is not for the faint at heart. 

Throughout this journey where she became a Brooklynite at heart, Carine made it a principle to always put forward good customer service by applying a golden rule of treating others the way she would want to be treated.Affiliated now with Ideal Properties Group, She wants to concentrate on a learning aspect of the industry in order to better herself and be more knowledgeable on her market.

So I hope you take my message to heart and start your education process.

in my mind your risk is from your conscience  or your carma or your god.. take your pick.Or just disclose up front that you are going to try to resell it and make a profit over what you are paying the seller and if your efforts fall short then you do not get compensated and the seller after the period of time you negotiate to sell said property is free to work with anyone else.were this gets dicey is the subterfuge that goes on in the industry IE you telling someone your the buyer when you know in your heart your not and your trying to make a marketing fee.In some states this is considered selling real estate without a license and you can get in legal trouble.but as a whole there are no code of ethics in the wholesaling space.. its a free for all so let your conscience be your guide.  

HUD fees are no joke and aren't for the faint of the heart, lol. 

Also some of the crowd funders will go pretty low for sweet heart CA deals.

Think with your head, not your heart.
