The other thing it'll take into account is mental health.

She looks to be in poor health and of course I'd like to help her if at all possible.So here's my question: being a wholesaler, how would I structure this deal?

Hello-I am currently working in the health care industry and I want to start investing in real estate, particularly in multi-family homes and rehabbing properties.

There are far more just regular people, like blue collar, health and services. 

We live in NY which makes things more expensive for nearly everything and I'd imagine the pattern holds for health ins.

In preparation, I've read multiple books on property management (Including Brandon Turner's), and have listened to over 100 BP Podcast episodes, as well as browsing the forum.That being said, I have a full time career as an insurance agent (life/health), I'm not sure if my time is better spent split between property management and my career, or if I should hire a local PM for 10%.

If they buy it 20-30 years ago, for $30K, and now, since it's been abandoned and it's only worth $10K, it's an ego thing to take a loss... also, sometimes it's a health thing with older people where maybe they want to rehab them, and just don't get around to it, but again won't sell because they think it's worth so much more..  

I'm looking to do this fast, and acquire more, as the health requirements of my wife (37yrs old), are reluctantly forcing her out of the workforce.

My job is fairly decent in that in addition to obvious benefits (good salary, health ins, 401k), it is flexible enough for me to pursue outside interests, i.e.

My handyman was very slow moving as he was in poor health and much older.
