I've driven them both during the day and they seem a little crowded with multifamily houses and overall busy but I don't think that necessarily means they're terrible areas full of bad tenants.

Several years ago we bought for cash, 2 duplexes in bad shape for $165K.

My career goal is to one day design and build large, modern homes and I have access to the money required through investors, but having my dad on board is my number one priority.Build a successful real estate portfolio.

Ive noticed a bad rep is circling around the name of the wholesaler: like how greedy they get or they don’t bring the numbers.

all cities have bad crime areas..

I'm feeling pretty defeated with this whole thing and a bad contractor is going to be allowed to continue to take advantage of people.

Now I've shifted careers to help grow our contracting business and flip houses as a family.

Is that a bad thing ?

It sounds like you either bought badly or didn't rehab very well.

But I do work in a finance department in the auto industry and far to many times I see young adults your age come into my office with below average credit due to bad financial decisions.
