In the video he says he wants to cut the fat, because his former roommate was over weight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?

were this works well is in the rougher neighborhoods frankly burnt out landlords inherted properties no one wants them but investors for rentals.. 250k in your area seems to me to be way to high of priced stuff to target and much better target to just list and sell as a broker.. not to mention being a RE agents both of you this is a career that will last for years and potentially the rest of your life.. whereas wholesaling most burn out before they do anything and the rest grow tired of it in a few years unless they are those 1% ers.. that scale it and make a living but again this is done in renter dominated markets.Just sayin  you guys are obviously smart driven etc.. and the buyers of these properties if your lucky enough to get one will grind you down to the point you can't find anything cheap enough for them.. your only as good as what deals you bring.. the big winner out of this deal is going to be the agent getting free referrals  :)  think about it..

I have an LLC and it's only ever gotten in my way, buy a fat umbrella policy, save money on the interest, slight tight.

So you could be picking up pennies (with wholesale deals) and passing large fat bars of gold (gained from going all in on dentistry).But you can always read up and maybe buy a place to house another dental student for kicks and learning (as long as a maintenance issue or tenant problem won't keep you from passing root canal class or whatever)...Then, once you are all established, you may want to be a real estate investor--with the assets and being more established in your career.

If you partner up with a friend or family member and the partnership loses a bunch of money because of something you accidentally did, you can easily burn bridges with great people in your life. 

You're guaranteeing yourself a big ol' fat mortgage. 

About six weeks ago I woke up with a burning desire to get back into RE.

Don't let money burn a hole in your pocket, but when you see an opportunity jump on it. 2.

If you find that you're close, but that all the back-and-forth has burned into their ideal timeline, then maybe $500 for a small moving crew might get them back on their timeline.

Addressing the problems is like trying to put out small individual fires in a forest that is burning.
