Having a finished property that generates positive cash flow was the safer bet to hold onto. 

I'm also a member at the The Landlord Protection Agency which is an educational website from which I've learned much although I did buy a membership there I think there's quite a bit of free stuff available.. https://www.thelpa.comI love this stuff, and I believe there's no better way to generate real wealth.

I am not looking to be a "wholesaler" I posted this here because I feel like wholesalers are best at this form of lead generating. 

For ZO, the risk is offset since they have their own title company, their own mortgage origination arm, plus they get the data, all of which generate revenue above the spread.

Ive been striking out for a several weeks generating leads.

It's probably the best one you can generate.

Hey @Douglas Spence, answering in a random order here:All in I’m $55k, $40k down, $5k closing, and roughly $10k in rehab.The loan was a conventional 30 year fix at 4.325%.I found my property but calling around and interviewing several places.

Even if you are paying 3, 4 or 5% interest on your own equity, if you can generate a much higher return (10-15%?)

I'm a big proponent of leveraging tools and my team to generate leads for me.

It would be intended solely to generate income and you could use the potential rental income to qualify.
