Very well done and spot on! 

., you are absolutely spot on and the reason for such surge in finding investors to identify properties for these individuals (mainly beginners) is because they are afraid and need that comfort of having someone that knows what they are doing.

Tough spot. 

If you entertain this, make sure you have significant cash reserves on hand, as a Roth is a great all-around retirement vehicle... once you take the money out, you lose that spot to put it back.  

"Can you tell the (insert floor) tenants to stop parking in my spot?"

There are free educational resources on each of those to get you started, but as you get deeper, @Paul Moore's advice to pay for good education is spot on, particularly for the more active strategies.If you want to do those OOS investing strategies you named, pick one market.

I like Cramer.....he's spot on so many times....not afraid to speak the truth, even when it is not popular. 

But even with your $10K wholesaling charge, your buyer/investor would still make far more than purchasing a 3/2 where the rate was increased from competitors.Now, if you're looking for the perfect spot to start your investing journey and learn everything there is about wholesaling houses, check out that book store over on BiggerPockets.

Hi Benjamin.If your question is personal advice on how to handle this with your girlfriend- other advice, here, has been spot on.If you are asking professionally, about getting started with investing- With $23k cash there are ways of buying property NOW, given your income sounds strong, as long as your credit is decent.

Im certain I could rent spots to people fairly easily.The upfront and ongoing costs would be relatively low as I am not building a structure.
