The problem I have though is that I can only put 3% down on my first home and after talking to a few underwriters It sounds like it would be extremely difficult to get approved for another loan within a year.

I am leaning towards Denver as Seattle seems extremely expensive for a young professional trying to get into REI.  

Every metro area in Florida is extremely saturated with wholesalers.

I'll give you my perspective, take what you like from it..as it is going to be extremely condensed but you'll see the tips of the icebergs at least. 

It's my understanding, and how we calculate it, that if the carpet was brand new when they moved in, you can charge for the remaining useful life of the carpet, so if they've been there more than 5 years, no matter how damaged it is, it is past its useful life and it would be extremely difficult to collect anything if challenged.  

I'm extremely interested in having rental properties & flipping homes but I'm in the learning stage at the moment.

I would suggest you watch the market close though, the over $1000 properties in the okc metro are moving extremely slow right now.  

I haven't looked into these much before but they seem extremely renter friendly and cheap to purchase/maintain.

Eviction is extremely difficult to achieve.You will need to get copies of your tenants leases and esstopal letters from each tenant before you take ownership.

Hey @Sherman McLendon For a wholesaler the contract is an extreme important instrument to structure a wholesale deal.
