I recommend that you interview a few realtors, join some local real estate meetup groups (they're free), and gain more knowledge. 

I did an interview the other day and they provided great insight into mentor red flags (they lost ~$30k from a bad mentor):Lying about their track record (i.e., they say X and after doing your due diligence, you find out that they straight up lied or exaggerated)They are the loudest person in the roomAggressive and overly pressure you to join their program (i.e., "you must join today!"

Having a police report and having the cops interview them may change their story...you never know. 

you can assign contracts sure but when your business purpose is to take assignment fee's and market the house in your own way then that's not legal in most all states.. a true wholesaler closes on the house then puts it up for sale.. the assignment fee game is just circumventing the license laws and we are seeing state across the country now recognize this and address it with amended laws IL just did it.in my state Oregon and Nevada same thing you market a house in any manner IE blast it out to your list or prepare a flyer.. or craigs list simply not legal..  

These new tenants seemed very nice when I screened and interviewed them.

While that's a big chunk, maintenance can quickly increase your expenses.There are a few things to be aware of and important to bring up during your interviews
