I have five years experience but the contractors I work for all have over ten years in the fields of dry wall, stucco, asphalt and paint. we aim to bid lower then many not because of the quality but because we are eagered to show  the good work we provide. 

I am aiming for 2 properties 

Its also best if its cash flowing (DSCR >1) and in a decent sweet spot of value (not too small nor too big, I'd aim for properties worth somewhere between $250k - $450k for rural)

I have yet to purchase my first investment and I'm aiming to have that done within this year.

Aim!

I got my first flip in Atlanta under contract and am now in the due diligence phase aiming to get some bids for the project.

Wholesaling is a strategy that can be supplemental to your primary exit strategy.

Is there a specific coc roi that you guys aim for in this market?

This gets my blood oxygenated and jump starts my brain (I also take a Lion's Main supplement for brain health every day).

For all the good that has come from reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" I'm not a fan of what I have seen from of the supplemental materials and their associated costs (disguised as investments at the seminars).
