Don't just take what you read here as the gospel.At the end of the day, you have to decide your risk factor, your comfort level, consult with people you trust and make the call.

Do you disqualify a place if the list price is outside of your comfort zone, or do you just ignore it and make an offer at the price that makes the numbers work for you and put the onus on the seller?

Antioch may be the way to go, i'm comfortable with rougher areas.

Stick with those you’re very comfortable with (they will do the same).

@Kenneth Huddleston Eric is right about trying to make friends and looking for a mentor, they can help your learning a lot, but before you go out to any REIA's make sure your parents know what you doing, where you are going and who you are associating with.Maybe I'm just being overly cautious but it can't hurt to keep them in the loop and make sure they are comfortable with a mentor.

Staying power is essential and the primary job gives you that comfort level.

That's the best way to expand your comfort zone and to learn new approaches that you can bring back to your market - not to mention make new friends.

I personally do not feel comfortable yet wholesaling anything lol, If i had a mentor okay, but solo at the moment feels risky.

Build a relationship so they feel comfortable bringing you in on deals with little cash.
