I'm new to investing and I want to begin as a birddog/wholesaler, preferably wholesaling. 

I prefer laminate in my rentals because it looks better, lasts longer, is easier to clean, is cheaper in the long run, and is a desired upgrade for most good tenants.

Mostly what I have read in the past on this topic doesn't break down actual ownership percentages (vs capital invested) or rate of returns.I know these are sort of preference related questions but I would love to understand how other investors have structured deals in the past or how they are going about them now.Thanks again!
