I’ll have 15-20 hours a week that I can dedicate to supporting a pre established team but I need to find said team.My goal is to own(full ownership- no outside money) 40 properties and 80+ units/doors in the next 12 years.Help?

My general rule is a hard pass on anything violent, like battery. 

I'll be reaching out to anyone and everyone that could support me on my first wholesale deal.

(Many won't, and don't bend the rules for anyone, that NEVER works out.)Check out https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/01/27/tenant-screening/

A simple rule of thumb is that 40% of your gross will go to expenses.

I follow the same rules regardless of the investment opportunity.

He wants to rent with a lady (she has 15 yr daughter) with 700+ credit score, 2x salary vs rent job, BUT she has "judgement from court" for child support services ( She needs to pay  for child support).

And make sure the houses fit your 'criteria'  (me:  3br/1+bath, supporting $1K+ monthly rent, bought @ 20% below market).

If I am looking to do the lease option in my market area (Southern California) but the rent does not follow the 1% rule however it does cover the cost of the mortgage is that acceptable?

@Chris Spencer For me, as a rule of thumb, every ~35k-40k that I invest at the moment, gets me around $800 - $900 Dollars in monthly net cash flow.
