Account Closed yes I'm still looking for a general contractor.

Talk to your accountant and see what they recommend based on your financial situation then talk to an attorney that forms entites and see what they recommend based on what you will be doing.

Account Closed I would start at an office that offers education, learn the systems and processes first. 

I would check with your accountant, or find one to talk about your specific situation.

All parties of the lease will receive a strongly worded automated email that informs them that their account is now past due and if not paid in full further action up to and including eviction may occur. 

Account Closed  Is your loan amount 49K, or the cash you're receiving at closing 49K?

Do you also have a healthy savings account?

I am NOT an accountant.

Right now capital is at a minimum and I’m improving credit so while I start saving money and networking with other investors, I’ve decided that whole-selling is probably my best bet to get a little extra cash in the bank account before I go buy a hold property.Anyway, I’m curious on a few things:What’s an average wholesale fee in California?

sounds like a convenient cop-out to me. i'm all for people experimenting like this, especially when it benefits the community. as far as tracking hours, most volunteer organizations already do this. if you're sending them volunteers i'm sure they'd be happy to send you accounting of hours volunteered.
