Is it really worth spending an hour of your time to sell that piece of equipment with a resale value of 75$ or furniture that takes up 8 square feet and sits around on craigslist for 3 months before it sells?

I am currently living in Lancaster, OH while working Monday - Thursday in Columbus and spending Friday - Sunday with my family in Lansing.

One is that the housing market in this area is so hot, it seems like getting into it now is an excellent way to spend a lot of money on learning and doing rehab's, only to have the market cool off before I can really capitalize on what I've learned.

Which is why wholesaling is much more attractive because it requires no start up money. you cannot successfully wholesale as its taught by on line courses or gurus if you have no money.. the successful wholesalers be them licensed or not spend THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS a month on lead generation.you could bird dog.. maybe with limited captial just gas and a phone and hope that you get paid. 

If you are an Accredited Investor, you could place that 100K with an experienced sponsor in a real estate syndication in any number of asset classes (Large Multifamily, Self Storage, Mobile Home Parks, Assisted Living Facilities).

How much did you spend on the other bathrooms? 

3) Can I deduct real estate investing expenses/trips considering I do not have business bank accounts, have no legal entities setup, and I have a tech office job (I spend the majority of my week on my tech office job)?

Hi BP:I am new to real estate and I have a war chest to spend.
