I want to come home and be with my kids as much as possible; I see Real Estate as my ticket to be home and more intimately leading my family to create value through service.I've been investing in turnkey SFRs for the past two years on the retail market, I'm now looking forward to acquiring property on the wholesale market.

A "good" investor wouldn't do something like that unless they know it can sell on the retail market.Another reason might be that they tried to wholesale it, they couldn't.

Hey there @Aaron Rickett.My business right now is almost 50/50 retail vs investors.

The basement (with 10' walls) is in place and was poured with foam-insulated forms to it has massive R-value.

Even if we did I am already on loans just to pay school so adding massive loans for the house would probably stress me out a lot.

I gave a presentation explaining my sales process and how Icame to the price offered and which also explained the benefits of selling through a whol;esaler as opposed to the retail process.

I primarily work with investors and my services to my investors looks very different than my service to my retail buyers.

I am just worried that it will all cost more than I initially estimate, or that I won't be able to find contractors to take me seriously and get me investor pricing vs. retail pricing.

Some were possibly interested in selling, but most expected a near retail offer or had unrealistic expectations as to what their property was worth. 2.

I just hate the thought of having massive gas bills.Any advice would be appreciated.
