Just remember that if you don't use a realtor, the listing agent gets both sides of the commission. 

Regardless of whether she finds the ideal rental the tenant will have to move. 

Remember, investing in a property is on average at least a 5 year commitment.

If I do need to tap into more money I have several years of Roth IRA contributions, which I could draw from (obviously not ideal).  

Ideally those should cashflow.3) In 5 years, sell  the appreciated assets to pay for the high cashflowing ones and live off the cashflow from that.

From the topI’ll be honest, I don’t remember the first time I thought about the term financial freedom.

It's important to remember that 75% of a wholesalers time and money, is spent on marketing for properties, not buyers.

One of my clients from Honolulu moved up the ranks with Panko.. ended up building his first high rise in Honolulu and just went ballistic from there.. big time.. there are many niches of development.. but in the SFR or MF space most of the guys i deal with are deal makers and understand real estate contracts  entitlements and then how to finance it all. 

When a inherited tenant is below market ideally you want to raise their rent to full market as soon as you legally can. 

Ideally this would have a some type of feed into the MLS to be able to pull down data.
