IE do you have capital to pay for your advertising and other media buys  etc.those I know that do well at wholesaling have budgets from 5k  a month for this to 50k a month or more.. its a very capital intensive business if you want it to be a money maker.Or you can just drive for dollars etc and see what you can find..  

You learn how to read appraisals, title docs, insurance, budgets and construction drawings, etc.

You just want someone to give you budget numbers?

just want to get a general estimate to start budgeting.

Or get an economical car and a side hustle like Door Dash in the evenings instead of watching TV.Check out "Set For Life" to get some great ideas on side hustles, budgeting, and saving up for an investment.

What willingness have you found HOAs to go for in terms of you verifying that their financials are sound, to decrease the odds of any surprise special assessments screwing with your cash-flow (eg, how do you ensure the HOA is budgeting for necessary maintenance)?

., and decide where you want to do it, whether it's Naperville, Chicago, another suburb, etc.Second, start looking online at places like realtor.com to get an idea of the market prices that you're looking at and the condition of the homes that meet your budget.
