We tell our investor clients this all the time.

While I specialize in selling renovated turn key properties to investor clients we are still doing quite a bit of wholesaling as well!

Without the ability to prove at least some experience I would expect it to be difficult to find private investors of a deal that size.

I am a realtor out in the Escondido area of California and just had to have a client replace their duct work for the same reason.

What Bob said above is what most of our clients do through us.And while the desired income level varies, the goal we map out seems to be 5-7 years typically until they've met it.We have a dentist in CO we're working with to map out an aggressive 5 year strategy (starting with more liquid cash) and jumping into a few 4 unit buildings as well as SFR.  

I've just recently ran into a situation where an insurance company did an inspection and found my client to have a Federal Pacific Stab lok and they chose to come off risk.

I have a client who lived in a SFH in Pennsylvania from June of 2013 until Feb of 2015.

The loan was quicken loans, and I feel their appraiser just dropped the ball, saw it was too difficult and moved on to the next one.

Im just starting out and currently in an online realestate school but it's coming off as difficult.

If the OO rate drops below a certain percent, then it can be difficult to obtain bank financing to purchase a condo.Some condo associations will demand to approve any tenants.
