ESA provide emotional, mental health support.

Plenty in CA keeps harping on "the prices cant just keep going up, so I'm going to wait until there is a correction".....and the prices keep going up.......Plus its mentally hard to buy the exact same property at 259k that you bought 3 years ago for 160k....and it needs work.... but the markets still seems to think its a good deal.

We started this Wholesaler Mastermind and Accountability Call, so we could find more off-market deals by training new wholesalers how to build lists, find phone numbers, create solid mailing, emailing, texting and cold calling campaigns that will boost our effectiveness and likelihood of closing more deals.

I know the typical investor mentality is buy as much as you can  with other peoples money, and that used to be my perspective. ...but now the decisions I've made couldn't have turned out any better.

Maybe you negotiate a better price, maybe you do seller financing with your dad at 3-4% interest (more than he would get with the bank, and less than you would pay on a loan= win/win), maybe you turn around and do a lease with an option to purchase (not lease option, you would need 2 separate docs for this one, talk to an attorney who has done them before), maybe you turn around and do seller financing at a higher price and higher interest (cash now, plus cash flow without the responsibility of maintaining property), or maybe your dad believes in you enough and wants to help give you a boost in the beginning by allowing you to flip the house and takes the profits from it and get into a better property, or multiple properties.  

The water and heat was already built into the rent so when I drastically reduced those cost- I effectively got a boost in rent.I think that an investor would be most interested in having separate electric meters (and water depending on your community).

People keep me around because I boost their confidence to go forward, ambitiously.

Working on houses yourself definitely boosts your confidence level while bringing in higher rents.If I were you, I would definitely renovate Side B and bring the rents up to market.Glad you got rid of the sh*tty handyman :P
