That approach is very dangerous. 

You don't live "bad" financial discipline, accrue wealth and THAN gain healthy financial habits from the $, that's nonsensical.

As a wholesaler, a seller approached me with a 48 unit apartment complex, 7 duplexes and a 2500 sqft Single family that he wants to sell (all of which occupy the same block.) 

Your thoughtful approach sets you on the right path for success!

Reliance on a team a flight away wasn't for me as I was getting started, I am considering bending that approach. 

By the end of June, I struggled to find 20 calls to make.By July 2024, I decided to try a different approach.

Live in one unit and rent out the others to cover your mortgage.Seller Financing: Negotiate terms with the property seller where they act as the lender, often requiring a smaller down payment and bypassing traditional underwriting.Partnerships or Joint Ventures: Partner with an investor who provides the capital in exchange for a share of the property’s equity or income.Lease Options: Use a rent-to-own agreement, which allows you to control the property while saving for a formal purchase.BRRRR Method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat): Acquire a distressed property with short-term financing, rehab it to increase value, rent it out, and refinance to recoup your initial investment.Pro TipStay in close communication with your lender as you approach your next purchase.

An experienced team or partner can also help boost confidence.Providing a combination of a solid commitment letter, proof of funds, and a clear, professional approach signals you’re serious and capable of closing the deal.

There's no one size fits all approach to real estate investing and depending on your resources, skill set, and capabilities you may excel in one particular market or utilizing a specific strategy whereas another investor will excel using a different approach.  

So you have that approach as well.
