It seems like a huge market to make money.

Just follow the money. 

If you are only buying creatively or with private money I hear good things from people who use them.

From my experience, HD Supply Home Improvement Solutions was considerably inexpensive compared to anywhere, even Lowes and Home Depot.

Thanks for emphasizing some of those other benefits to my overall net worth as well as lifestyle considerations as well! 

That means you are paying money to have someone rent your investment property unless you can rent for another $1000.00.My first question would be what is your equity position on the home?

We don't consider charges/fees as "rent", but our lease does say that any money received by the tenant is applied to those first, and any left over is applied to rent.

They need you to spend money and you try to save...

My company is always willing to partner with local wholesalers, investors, real estate agents/brokers, private money lenders, etc..        

Everyone sold and most for retail money, so don't expect bargains or flipping profits.
