My ultimate dream is to become completely financially free by the age of 40 so that I can have all the time in the world with my family and be the dad who is physically present that they will so desperately need.

Some wholesalers also work with real estate agents to get access to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for leads on distressed properties that could be wholesaled.Driving for Dollars: This is a grassroots approach where you physically drive around neighborhoods looking for distressed properties (e.g., overgrown lawns, and boarded-up windows).

My primary goal is to see if I have a physical and mental stamina to tackle such a property.

Yes, I mean the physical location of the server room?

If you’re going to do this, get a physical, paper map of the Orlando metro area and a box of crayons.

I get a number of physical docs but also have many other docs in digital format. 

I mean, how do you show the property if you’re not physically there?

The BiggerPockets Bookstore is great - I highly recommend either the physical or audiobooks there, would recommend the BRRRR book by David Greene for sure

There is a suggested opening bid and a minimum bid increment.When the physical auction takes place, bids will happen.

Because you are not allowed to do the physical work on the house, you may wish to bring on a property manager.
