Again, other might feel differently here.b) Skin in the game: as a conservative investor, I understand that the dirty secret of industries that the waterfall compensation is in the line with me and incentivizes sponsors to take more risk.

I’m trying to get into this game & wholesale seems like the only other for me , I have little to no capital .

All with just 3.5-5% down.On the other hand, investing upstate or OOS can get you in the game at a significantly lower price point and give you a better shot at cash-flowing.

You always play the appreciation game. 

It is a long term game.

Or, if you want to just talk straight investment strategy, you and I can meet up and talk about how to wade into the investment game.

@Raman Saka  Let's take a look at your game plan and where you are financially today. 

I'm happy I did it and used it as a learning experience before converting to long term rental which has been good consistent income 12 months of the year with great tenants.I agree with @Chris Lopez and find something that is a base hit, get in the game, make mistakes and learn from them.Best of luck!

I'm looking for a CPA who can help me set a game plan to be successful for the long run.Thanks in advance!

Then they use some kind of algorithm to crunch this all down into a "tenant score".Especially if you're new to this game, don't let your gut feeling about someone override the numbers data.
