I pretty much have enough that I don't have to work anymore, but that's boring. in a few more years I'll be able to afford to not work full time, and still grow at a fast pace. the end goal for me though (to use someone elses word here) is legacy.I really would like to leave a positive impactful mark on humanity, and all the ways I want to do this are expensive.

The driving is stressful, the pace is stressful, the place isn't even remotely worth the price whether you buy or rent.

Unfortunately there are a lot of folks (usually with a hidden agenda) who will tell you that it doesnt take any money to get into wholesaling.

@Mike Smith Pace told a untruth!

Take a week and have an agenda laid out . . .see the areas to focus on and those to avoid. 

I don't condone my belief system towards this Marxist driven agenda that punishes the wealthy and rewards the underachievers.

I have been consuming real estate books and BiggerPockets podcasts at a fever pace.

In this fast paced market, the properties are already under contract by the time they even get to that site.  

Many mentorship programs are growing quickly and they can't keep up with the pace so they bring on "sub-coaches".  

I do understand your situation in Austin where it may be difficult to have inspectors and appraisers move at the pace that you need them to move do to marketDemand...
