@Jaysen MedhurstI agree with you and first time I read flippers caused 2007 housing crashed 

So, really, my gut says start there with the lawyers.Do you have any thoughts on the specific networking strategies you're going to employ?

From what I've read, banks want to see at least one year of steady rent payments.  

How important to read and understand a title report before buying a tax deed property? 

After years of being in the buy and hold side of real estate investing, I finally was a genuine 'Wholesaler"It happened after years of reading about it, watching the video's  and then going back to read again with the same question, reflecting my fear and confusion of "what is it again to be a 'wholesaler?"

@Curt Davis - Out of all the posts I've read of yours this might be the first one where you are the one asking the question!

From listening to the podcast, and reading over some of your posts - I have some questions I hope you guys can help me answer.1.

I have been reading everything I can, listening to every podcast, I joined my local REIA association and trying to learn as much as I can.I have an strong practice as an Architect, (not licensed in the USA just in case) design, and construction. 

I've read about self directed IRAs (just learned about them) and I am also totally cool with gutting my accounts.

Everything I read says it’s really difficult to get these variances approved, but we should have a better chance with the surrounding properties on both sides being under the zoning requirement at only 6,700 sqft lot sizes.
