Great advice thus far and I too recommend my thread on the truth about wholesaling.In today's market, wholesaling has become even more difficult due to the supply and demand Susie and tight spreads.I recommend if you enter this strategy, that you go the direct marketing route.

Banks might work with you or you could get two separate loans but that will increase the fees thus lowering your purchase budget.I would suggest getting one duplex now if 4-plexes are in low supply.

-Constraints: 1) limited time to go around looking for a good deal (unless online) 2) monthly income is all from child support.Questions:-Multi-units in OC are in limited supply and very expensive (upwards of $700k).

what happens in a market has a lot to do with it's own economy, and supply and demand.

For example, historically, we'd never have considered buying roofing materials, lumber, windows or hardwood material ourselves (just let our contractors supply it), but there is a decent savings by buying it ourselves, both because we can choose the supplier, can buy in bulk and because we know we're not paying markup to the contractor.

So I want to wholesale a few homes in order to supply a down payment on a rental property or even a rehab but there always some new law or regulation on the topic that make me go back tot the drawing board.

Ring around the better run property management companies you'll hunt them down.The ones I have supplied all do JV's with the biggest, (best) players in each city.

I think you would have taken the money with a smile on your face knowing that the laws of supply and demand work everywhere in every business all the time.

Supply meaning you can't rent a unit without those items in place and in working order.
