Keep that desire for the life you want strong and be persistent!

Thought I'd share this one as it's a little juicy. 13354 La Venta Poway, CA 92064ARV - $480,000-$500,000 Repairs - $40,000-$50,000Sold for $370,000Buyer was stoked on the deal, very desirable house due to its location (great schools) being at the end of a court and a really cool layout.

I have a desire to invest and rehab properties while at the same time accumulating a half dozen rentals for my family over the next few years. 

If you have a strong desire to learn, a positive attitude, ability to take rejection, and a "do whatever it takes" attitude you can do it.

as someone who's treaded the wholesaling waters, so to speak..let me say that it takes a mentor, knowing ARV, negotiationg skills and the desire to be a bit of a masochist..Is it easy?

To figure out your maximum purchase price, subtract the desired cash flow (I use $100 per unit per month) from 1/2 of the gross rents.
