I'm wanting to connect with people from my area that have wholesaling expertise that are willing to teach me from the ground up.

The purchase decision might make itself clearer once you are here, have boots on the ground and are not pressured to make a decision from long distance.

I am extremely gung-ho to have boots and the ground and gain more knowledge by the day.I am curious, as an agent who has been licensed for a few years, sold a few homes, but is coming back from hiatus, does anyone have any advice on where to begin?

You almost certainly have grounds to evict him.

Birmingham’s market is diverse, with various areas offering different levels of potential and risk, so getting boots on the ground can be one of the best investments you make in terms of time and money.I’d be happy to connect and share more about what I’ve learned from my experience managing properties in this market. 

The cost to maintain them probably wouldn’t be exactly 8x as compared to the single 8-unit, but it sure as hell isn’t a 1-to-1 ratio either. 

Our papayas, bananas and Plantain's are already starting to overproduce, and they get to take home.Pond looks great from the potential homesite on the hill above.The bare ground to the far right across the pond we planted Coconuts and bananas.

I'm not saying "wow, what a deal" or to copy this I'm just saying when compared to SFH or continuing to rent, the 2-4 unit househack is very appealing and thus demand is strong.

We’ve tried other platforms on the market, but the message delivery rates were very low compared to the 85%+ I get here.

For big BRRRR projects, hiring a project manager or having boots on the ground can be worth the investment to keep GCs on track and catch issues early.I’ve had OOS clients who’ve been successful both ways—some met their GCs in person and others didn’t.
