She wanted her investments to grow but didn't want her money locked up for decades.

Meanwhile, you could be locked-in to a purchase price that is 5-10% below comparable sales by the time this finally closes (Q2-Q3 2025).All the best!

After several inspections and a few deals that didn’t pan out, I was able to lock down a duplex in a high-demand Airbnb area.

We travel there when we can and bust out projects but winter is coming and reliable teams are hard to come by (not to mention the financial concern).

The most common pitfalls include underestimating the workload, difficulty finding reliable tenants, and managing legal requirements.Additionally, DIY property managers may not have access to the same resources and networks as professional property management companies.

I am willing to do a bit of rehab if my agent can recommend a reliable contractor out there as well as a property manager. 

They seem complicated, lock up your money and have a lot of restrictions. 

Ample parking space,plus reliable and dependable staffing makes a huge difference. 

So, is wholesaling really that bad and a reliable means of investing in real estate?

, any personal items to be removed/locked up etc?
