Wholesaling in this market is essentially a second job so i would suggest trying to partner with somebody who has been doing it.

With the amazing shortage of skilled tradesmen and labor in our country (it’s getting worse every day,) the only way is to change the job and culture of the job completely.

I have got quotes from 2 different companies, they are wildly different in price, but I am still considering going with the more expensive one, simply because it seems like they are more professional and I worry that they will do a much better job than the cheap guy.What do you normally do in this situation? 

The owners live in Olathe and done fantastic jobs!

I've been a part time investor since my mid 20's, and also have a day job that I do quite well with.

@Sam Hanaa Bad credit, self-employment, new to the country, short job history etc.

Hello everybody, I moved to Texas from Wisconsin a year ago and finally found myself a decent job.

For example (and just picking arbitrary numbers here), let's say:Current living expense: $1,800/monthHouse to hack mortgage: $2,000/monthRental income from house hack: $1,600/monthExpenses (including $400 leftover on mortgage): $800/monthIn this example, I'd be losing $800 out-of-pocket per month, but I'd be able to save an additional $1,000 from my day job over my current situation that I could use toward a second property.

Do you plan on flipping house full time or will you have  a "side job"?

That becomes the seed bed of your portfolio.
