You can leave it in the purchase if you're buying more than what you sold.2.

Everything doesn’t seem to come close to cash flowing and seems to be more sold for speculation .. future development .Interesting to hear about your direct mail experience , what areas were you targeting on the outskirts of SoCal ?

I talked to the heirs after the mom passed and negotiated a deal to buy it for $40k, then spent $72k renovating (with credit cards and borrowed money), then sold for $224,900 three months later.

@Upen Patel the reason why is I recently sold my co-op apartment in NYC and made a decent amount on the sale.

I sold a rental last year and did a 1031 exchange with the proceeds (added a little to it in the end to buy two new rentals).

I'd be interested in your thoughts about this: -Listing price $125k (comps show past solds are between $100k - $115k) -2 units: each unit 3 bed/3 bath ($800 + $850: total rent is $1650/month) Both tenants want to stay-Taxes are between $1750-$1800/year-Home Insurance: getting quotes between $1100/yr - $2000/yr-Good school area: Great schools show elementary/middle/high are between 7-9-in HOA: HOA fees are $40/month - go towards a community pool- property built in 2010- property management at 10% (I debated managing myself but am 1 hour away) -tenants pay all utilities-was part of a huge development that didn't get all developed, there are lots of vacant lots between propertiesMy goal is to get at least $500/month in net cash flow after all expenses are paid at and least 15% cash on cash return. 

Hi i am new to investing and im reaching out for help analyzing a deal im looking into, it would be my first deal if i don't count the home i live on and i would use down money from a heloc on my home... here's the details: its two separate houses, one is $32000  1800sq ft 4 bed 2 bath currently has a $550 rental income tenant and theyre both appraised at $39500. the other is being sold for $29995 its 1212 sq ft appraised at $39500 also and has a 475 rental income they are in a neighborhood were homes around it have sold for around $70000... i would maybe use a fha loan at around 5% interest and i would also get a heloc on my first home to cover the down money... they need basic interior renovations but have newer hvac and roofs any feedback is appreciated thanks

My wife and I bought a home in Las Vegas 6 years back and the house sold for more than double what we owed.

At least 3 similar styled homes, sold within the last 3-6 months, similar number of bedrooms and baths and amenities (garages, basements, pools, etc).

the gurus sell the idea of wholesaling as easy and no money down but that couldn't be more wrong. there is no guarantee return on the money invested in marketing . a wholesaler needs to do a lot, a lot of research to the local market where they are trying to find deals. you need to not only find the deal but prove that it is one to a potential buyer/investor. now Im not trying to discourage you, there are plenty of ways of getting started without MUCH money down .you can get a few cards made at a copy/print shop. you can talk to people and let them know what your trying to do. you can build a social media platform which is free. remember as a wholesaler your simply trying to find the deal then sell it at a commission. a friend of mine that is an agent uses their title company  to find information on houses in my neighborhood,  become friends with agents!.
