I'm trying to make everything as transparent and fair to all parties as I can in the contract, but having previously carried the financial load in a big way for other people's goof ups on a rehab of my own, I don't really intend to do that again.

Take the previous example; let’s say we are able to convince the seller to carry a note on the house.

As the great economist Fredrick Hayek said "All economic activity is carried out through time.

Better yet, is it worth tapping into the marketing budget for a few Absentee and/or Vacant homes vs the investor purchasing and scrubbing their own list(s)?

If the latter, you'll need to know the laws around carrying back (few lenders will lend on old mobiles).In either case, you'll need to run some numbers to determine the value of this investment.

@Jerrell SlayHey Jerrell, this is a very good questions and in my opinion your daily routines is what sets great wholesalers apart from bad to average wholesalers.A rough draft of my schedule will be as follows..Wake at 8am and scrub for new leads while having coffee..Work out eat lunch and then I get to my office by 12..From there I close out all my tasks for the day in zoho which takes me about an hour or so..From there I usually try and read or study for a bit while staying active on bigger pockets.I try and stay at the office till 5 and then I am done for the day. 

You can also look for listings, especially FSBOs that mention owner will carry (owc).

. $1500-$3000/month rent seems to be the sweet spot as a ratio with purchase/carrying costs.

THanks Carrie

Have seller carry back a second for $312k2.
