Better ROI for me is playing the agent card and while I am looking for others, also look for myself and go sniff these homes.

As example, list segments in Lufkin for single family homes <$100,000 with 2+bathrooms (the county doesn't report number of bedrooms) owners known to have low equity eliminated: 208 Seniors, age 60-89, 15+ year residence96 Absentee Owners215 Owners with Low Financial Stability Scores, age 40-89, 5+ year residenceThese are great potential sellers for you to mail a letter of post card letting them know how easy you can make it for them to sell their house to you.

Basically, you are not using your money and leverage to your full potential thus raising your opportunity costs of not acquiring more properties. 2 properties cashing flowing at 250 a month each is better than 1 cash flowing at 300 a month.

I'm originally from Louisiana and feel I could get a good start wholesaling there, but going back home isn't in the cards for me right now.

@Michael Christensen1st of all, welcome to BP family where we share knowledge, encourage each other and share positive views. 2nd, feel free to raise any question in this forum.And lastly, great work on your 1st step as there are more to come

Also, is there a credit card that anyone prefers because of the perks or any kind of other information in relation to this?

As tenants move out we will update each unit (~$4,500/side) and we will raise rents to $875/side.

Purchased a raised ranch and currently I think its too much house for me.

Raising rents to market value and renovating the units as those tenants move out has facilitated an NOI increase, further increasing the value to ~$250,000.

If I miss raising the rent one year I can't make it up, and while the increases each year are supposed to be reflective of increasing costs, they might generally but not specifically.
