If you are good enough to make 5K a month wholesaling...what I call the "short money"...you're missing the bigger picture of the real estate business.The long money...the continue cash flow from owning a free and clear rental property whose rents continue rise with inflation...is the big payoff of real estate.Let's get real...if you find properties others are willing to pay you cash for...you just sold away a lot of expertise and effort for pennies on the dollar.Get in this business for real and quit chasing the "fast but short buck".Or at the very least, stop calling it "investing"...Take some words of wisdom from Warren Buffet:We believe that according the name 'investors' to institutions that trade actively is like calling someone who repeatedly engages in one-night stands a 'romantic.'

If your house is much bigger and you can't find anything in the last year that sold more than 1000 sqft and lets say it sold for $95,000.00, then you would divide the $95,000 by 1000sqft making the home $95.00 per sqft, then multiply your house $95.00 x 1500sqft for a value of $142,500 after the home is rehabbed to be in as good of condition as the comps.
