I know at least 20 “wholesalers” locally and 99% of their deals are total junk and their business practices are questionable to say the least. 

Cant practice real estate, only refer and receice referral fees.

My initial reservation is that this estimate would more than double the current cash flow per unit, which seems like it might be difficult to do in practice - I'm not saying it's not possible, I am just hesitant.

In the meantime, work on improving your credit, finding partners, networking, practice analyzing deals, and saving cash to invest.Hope this helps - happy to answer any questions you have.Robert Leonard

The "average" sale, based on Wake county November sales of 2,570 properties, consists of 31% new construction and 69% 'existing' (not new construction) properties.

In Columbus, we have countless area-market pages for listings/agents (such as Dublin and Hilliard OH Homes for Sale and Rent page), so those too could be valuable to make a presence on.Also, Consider establishing your own personal (Broker) content-consistent Facebook page/profile that will drive clients to you from the Cinci group, etc. 

@Andrew Postell Long-term I am looking to buy and hold, and build a business with consistent cash flow.

As of right now i am getting my finances together. by the end of 2019 i will be ready to invest. so as of right now i will practice analyzing properties and also educating my self to better understand the world of real estate investing. 

I'm curious as to best practices people might use to evaluate market value properly.
