Just some ideas that came to mind

Choosing a online school has been mind blowing.

That way you get better idea of the quality of the tenant, whether they pay on time etc.Talking to the tenants is also very good way to get feel for the property, if possible.Also keep in mind that any document the seller provides you is a material fact.

Once I resigned my mind felt so clear.

Would you mind sharing yours?

I first go by the 1%, but am conversing with the Seller today about what expenses the tenants are responsible for, Cap expenditures done recently, etc. would you mind sharing what ratios you target?

From my experience with Airbnb, most guests that I have booked my place are usually here for a show at Red Rocks, hang with friends, downtown drinks/dinner, mountain trip, etc. 

I have a realtor in mind that I want to approach about helping me find specifically off market multi-family property to buy.

Well, I saw a CD Walkman for sale at walmart the other day and the price was $35. so with that in mind, everything is possible sometimes to answer the original question: NO, I have nothing good to say about wholesalers. take your time to learn the business, get as much of an advantage as you can muster

We never did rent it to anyone other than my sister-in-law for a short time.I now live in what will probably our "forever home" and am interested in getting into real estate to start making some passive income and ultimately quit my day job.I have listened to a TON of the bigger pockets podcasts and am primarily interested in renting, however, I also don't mind getting my hands dirty and have dabbled in contracting some jobs out myself so may get into flipping as well.My wife and I are big fans of Dave Ramsey and are within about 5 years of paying off our house.
