People have looked at me like I’m crazy when I suggest that perhaps they aren’t a great primary strategy from a wealth building standpoint.

Can anybody suggest a list of helpful seminars and conferences vs. ones we know are scams?

We can try to work around the problem by formalizing borrowing, as I suggested.

@Rasmus Elmstrøm I think investors who do lowball bids and try to buy below retail rely on volume.

I realize it typically is a lot more expensive to build new than to buy an older house, but I was wondering if anyone had experience building in the OKC area and could give suggestions on A) how much it typically costs per square foot, and B) if you know of good construction companies that you would recommend reaching out to.

any suggestions?

It's totally up to you but I think very few investors would suggest less than 7% on anything with 20 units or less.As for repairs, the 10% you have total is for reserves (I think these are actually pretty good numbers depending on the age of the place).

Under the "purchase closing cost" section they suggest $1,500-2,500 but my projected closing costs are significantly higher.

I would suggest house hacking (buying a home with multiple units like a 3-plex) and getting the rent from the other two units to cover your own housing expenses.

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations they can provide for title companies in Nashville that are familiar with wholesaling?
