Thanks for your input and expertise!

Locally, I have the subcontractors to i bring the property back to marketable condition, I know how to market SFR houses with or without seller financing and local legal expertise if I need it.

If you master one, like wholesaling, and then choose to expand your expertise, then fine.

I have not seen prices inflated just to secure higher comps & given the expertise of most appraisers it doesn't make sense.

Hopefully you can hustle to buy a few more properties, get the expertise to build a management company, & eventually buy an asset that will make you money (& not give you a job).  

Expertise..were all shaped different because we bring our experiences to the table..Lots of similarities in the business but different4.  

I even contacted a real estate attorney and was told that wasn't their area of expertise.
