I agree that if you have no money that wholesaling is the way to start, but I cannot understand why you would do flips to find long term rentals.1) BRRRR is a way better way to learn construction management than flips.

AdrianYes I agree both sites gives me great information!

I agree with an earlier post that the greatest motivator is a lackluster job. 

Hi @Meghan Macur,Generally I agree with the rest of the posters, send in a full package. 

Typically if you have a large down payment of 20-25%, you can still find properties with positive cash flow in single family and you make money on the appreciation.I bought a newer Townhouse in home town Orangeville recently which is cashflow positive with 20% dp.I agree with Luc and Ming points, you have to be able to improve the property, either improve cash flow or increase property value with reno's.I have looked at multi family and retail net properties but have not found anything too exciting yet.

Thanks for the clarification, that all makes sense.I agree with @Steve Moody's advice.  

I agree with Don above.

As a landlord, with positive cash flow it is difficult to agree to sell the property.  

Then you can use those funds to invest in alternative assets such as real estate, get into private lending, etc.I agree with Patsy that Solo 401k is more superior option, however it is not for everyone.

So if you find an investor for the deal now and six months later something has changed, typically you could walk from the deal if you do not agree to an extension etc.Send me a PM as I may be interested in learning more About the deal as well
