All thoughts and criticism are appreciated.

Your biggest critics will always be your friends and family in the beginning.

It is clear that you have done well with some solid strategies of using leverage, buying the right properties (at the right time in your market, it appears), trading up wisely, and letting professionals manage your property.In your dismissal of the concept of a self-directed IRA or Solo 401(k) and your “worry” about postings on this topic, however, you miss a very critical point, which is the dramatic reduction in original capital available to invest with that comes with your strategy.You took $50K from a 401k and were left with $35K to use as a down payment.

Not a wholesaler myself, but I know that consistency in your marketing and in your daily actions is critical.  

Neighborhoods that are in or near parks, waterways, upscale shopping areas, better school districts and near medical facilities need to be looked at as well as the turnover of that inventory.Your financing ability is critical, banks are going to be pretty leery of a new contractor with no experience in the community.

If it is occupied, you must give written notice to vacate and then must wait 6 months before filing an ejectment lawsuit.It is critically important to take possession as quickly as possible, because this is the event that starts the judicial redemption clock ticking down.

While being organized may not be as critical when you own one property but, once you get a few more, being organized is essential.

The critically acclaimed “2%” rental does not exist and a 1% rental is a rare find.

You really should not criticize what you don't understand nor have extensive experience with.

Why are other investors who don't use sub2 in their playbook criticizing it.
