I had never used a power tool prior.

And don’t underestimate the power of direct outreach; some sellers may be more flexible if you present a clear, structured plan for partnership or financing.

For context, before I learned about his 6 unit I was planning to purchase a 2-3 unit long term rental in Q1 2025 as my first of many deals with a 5 year goal of financial freedom so I can coach my daughter's high school cross country and track teams.

Either they don’t have the money, or more likely they don’t have the freedom.

seems to be with the power of REI nation in the market place wholesalers would be lined up to present deals to U guys first .. invite them into your offices and give them the tour like you do your retail buyers..

That truly determines the successful from the unsuccessful, making it happen despite all the odds against you.I have a similar story of finding real estate and achieving financial freedom over the course of 4 years, going from 0 to over 300 doors.

My goal is to create generational wealth for my family and to eventually have the financial freedom to say "yes" to travel adventures as a family. 

In exchange, I have first rights to sell the property through a power of attorney. once it sold, the seller get his agreed price, and I get the rest.

Water, power (no gas) are billed directly from the utilities company. 

Assuming you could take out a couple 100k you would have the buying power to start a cash recycling business (brrring or flipping).
