The price increase can't sustain the levels it has the last 3 years.

Good day BP it's a pleasure to be a part of your community I wanted to know if I can get a second opinion about a deal I was analyzing it seems to be a sustainable amount growth in the after repair value in this particular property  but it's such a high investment which makes me think there's a reason it's still on the market which pushes me away a little since I'm relatively new it's a 5BR 4Bath  very hot area great School District it needs a full rehab asking price is 653,000 is the cheapest house in that area considering there's work that needs to be done to it now there's a house up the street that's almost identicalat but is a 4BR 3Bath going for 1,267,000 just recently would I more then likely  be spending  over a 100,000 on a full rehab  in  a A class  neighborhood

Odds of you losing your job in a bad market is directly proportional to your tenants ability to pay or a crash in the housing market and if you have cushion to sustain that then of-course leverage and go for it.

Your goal should be that your lead schedules a time and calls you because your time and input is that valuable to them.Since your managing broker sounds "old school" I'll quote some Zig Ziglar, which is someone who probably resonates with him: "You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want."

It's not sustainable past a certain point, and when I get there my business model will change, but by then I'm sure I'll have hit my modest financial goals anyway.

Any and all marketing is about credibility, and resonating with your audience.

A more precise way to word this would be that a primary residence does not generate cash flow upon which one can sustain early financial freedom. 

@Ryan Battista  no doubt... however my opinion on this and watching wholesalers for 20 plus years since it became a thing is only about 2 to 5 in a hundred have any kind of sustainable success.. and you may be the one of those so hats off to you.I do know though if you have those same sales skills and make no mistake about it you need MAD sales skills to be a good wholesaler.. and you had the same budget you could absolutely kill it as a real estate broker for the rest of your life..

But Michael everything you just said resonates immensely with me.
