I want to know more about virtual wholesaling so I can be in several markets all at once.

Unless I could have somebody answer the phone that I'm comfortable with walking through the entire script and qualifying the lead right then and there having a virtual receptionist to transfer the call to me isn't really the impression I'm looking for.  

While I do own one rental home in the Central Valley, the property is rented to a business my wife owns and manages, (essentially the home is rented to myself) so there are no tenant issues; and thus I have virtually no experience as a landlord.

Good things about Austin are that the university and capital aren't moving anywhere. 

It previously serviced the nearby university.

In simple business terms, it depends on opportunity cost.I think that the universal "apples to apples" comparison is rooted in CAP rate (see other discussions for more explanation of CAP rate, or PM me and I'll vector you in to one).  

You can only trust the universe, and the market, to take care of things.  

I probably have to make a career decision Tuesday as I'm going to interviewed over the phone for a position in Miramar (NBC Universal Media) and I will continue to operate on a modest income <80,000 income.        

I got my Texas real esate license last summer and look forward to using it more once my family and I move to Dallas after my wife graduates from the University of Chicago Law School.

The last one I did I borrowed 90%ish from the hard money I broker and did the difference from the private lender (much smaller loan, easier to come by from lenders, virtually unlimited funds from the HML, while my PL does get in the mood to buy a house or Ferrari instead of loan $ to me from time to time).None of the institutional lenders I know of will do 100%.
