I recall hearing about this a few times on the podcasts.

Our perspective is that most investors seem to be sitting on the sidelines waiting for the markets to stabilize, have their focus on the stock market, or are too busy to consider investing right now.

As it sits buying the house seems like a good move as it would decrease our monthly living expense despite it being a very expensive first home (part of why I’m asking for guidance) and also has some value add potential.The Numbers:Mortgage: $2450-$2787 (based on 480K-550K range@ 4.5%)Taxes and Insurance: $700-$800/mo. ($1500/yr. ins.

Renovated SFH's are sitting on the market now due to loss of buyers being able to purchase. 

If you put it in the crawlspace just be sure that it isn't sitting in dirt.

How long have those rentals been sitting?

Other agents and flippers will leave their houses sitting on the market now hoping for views, but they will be stale when everyone comes back to the table.

It could just be that it didn't sit right with the seller.So, first of all, are you being honest with the seller and telling her that it's you're intention to find a investor/buyer for her house by wholesaling it? 

We have one house right now that is just sitting waiting for a total burnout rehab.

Hustle can take you a long way in this world, but if your plan is to sit back and wait for someone with tons of experience to find you, drop everything, and teach you everything, I think you're going to be waiting a long time.Get out there and make it happen.
