Forming partnerships are key to growth.

So much so that the break in that we experienced a few short months after I took over, was handled more or less in stride.I still own 25 residential units and without having sharpened my teeth on them, I would not have had the ability or confidence to buy a storage facility.

IMHO your ability to make the mortgage payment should NOT depend on getting the rent check from the tenant.

These contracts need to be compliant with applcable laws and credit of any buyer needs to be assessed as well as thier ability to pay and meet the final obligation.

If you do have the plan, you still need the education and motivation to execute the plan and that takes time as does your ability to do enough deals to replace your J.O.B. with the new JOB of a wholesaler.

Given my current capital/time/ability I am looking to possibly cash purchase a mix of low cost SFRs and multis (10 units or so total) in my home town Cincinnati area with cap rates in the 12 range.

Moreover, they have detailed knowledge and experience on the area, its history, the demographics, the people that influence future growth, and so much more.

Who needs 10K, someone who has little in financial horse power, what is thier ability to cover that with limited resources?

The key feature I am looking for is the ability to upload images of receipts.

We collectively refer to it as "a finders fee".Small chunks of cash (10k, 8k, 5k, 2.5k) but they add up and its a much quicker payday and so much less riskier than rehabbing.I am seriously considering getting a RE license because I leave a lot of money on the table when people call me with pretty houses and I can't list them but not having a license does not at all impede my ability to make money via wholesaling.
