When you put a lot of well compensated employees in a desirable living area, they drive real estate prices to max pain.

If you are planning to flip it you want to buy it at a price that will give you your desired profit based on what other similar properties in the are are selling for.  

It was referring to the fact that all real estate markets are different, and following.. the employment, income, demographics, supply of land & housing, desirability, demand, etc. in that particular local market will determine what happens there..

It's not the amount of money you to have (you can always find money), it's about the desire and the amount of work you are willing to put into the business/  I was paid $15K to buy my first house, so I know from experience what I'm talking about.Get educated on the topic of real estate investing from FREE sources (there are way too many free resources to pay these education vultures that want to charge thousands of dollars for what you can find online for free). 

Part of what you have not taken into account is the timing of receipt of your profits.By selling with seller financing, you delay receipt of a portion of your profits which the seller may desire if he/she would rather have an income stream such as in retirement.A flipper, by contrast wants to most money (cash) from the sale as possible to then move on to the next project.Question?

This could play very handily into your desire for a farm if you've got some flexibility.There's a lot of moving parts and a lot of opportunities for you.  

ryan pretty much gave you your NOI (gross rents-expenses)..now you just need to find out what you can spend on a loan each month and also get your desired cashflow..does the property need any work?

Does anyone with a burning desire to succeed though with no money of his own and probably zero credit potential have any place in this wholesale game at all?

Additionally, even if I had the buying power, this would not be the deal I was looking for.I do live in a desirable location with deeded access to a large lake at the end of my street and I'm about 2 miles from the beach, so vacation rentals do well here.What would you do in this situation?
