I currently have only one property which is my primary residence but am on track to purchase my first rental in 2020!

It seems like I might actually be on the right track!

for your down payment, and (2) the rental income from that property (assuming you have 1-2+ years of proven rental income?)

The larger you go up in price the smaller the buyer pool shrinks so can get a little better cap rate and also better loan terms ( more lenders compete for larger loans as it is less to keep track of for servicing volume and locations tend to be stronger for higher priced properties.)My clients sign exclusives with me because it is a considerable time investment on both sides to work to achieve the common goal of effectively finding the best property in the buyers range to purchase that meets their quality and cash on cash objectives.The STNL market is fluid and the good properties go fast ( typically in days to 1 week max).

If you build a track record of wholesaling and hustling I think you could present yourself as a good candidate to the right group.

I'd be looking at their track record.

That one comment was pretty scathing, and while I know there is always one troll in the group and you can't please everyone all the time, I decided to see if I could track that commenter down and speak with them (their name happened to be part of the post).

Since obtaining my license to trade in R/E I have had a successful career as a top agent in my locàl, as well as a successful track record in rental and flip properties.

Journal/track/plan what I'm working on that day.

It looks like you are on the right track so far!
