You two could potentially link up and reduce your skin in the game by working together.

Particularly in the wholesale game word gets around if you are a straight shooter.  

There is also hard money but you will likely need some skin in the game (10-20% down) and this only works for rehab deals.Don't let capital stop you from getting started though.

Listing broker pretty much shut us out, played all sorts of games, and in the end sold the deal to one of his buyers. 

*we were promised a copy of the examples given of the system used to find and how to walk through it, but on Saturday there were no copies or no mention of it*THERE ARE TWO MASTERY PROGRAM PACKAGES ONE FOR $30,000.00 AND ONE FOR $50,000.00.The only system you need is to find is an honest agent (always, always, always check the comps in the area..that is where I dropped the ball and I trusted Enterprise Realty and Carolyn Washington and never checked the comps).The second thing needed for a successful system is a great real estate attorney and Attorney Karen Walker was amazing, she urged me to get an inspection, if I had listened to my attorney and spent the $400.00, I would have never rehabbed that property and not taken that hit when I sold it.The third item needed to have a successful system is a good general contractor, make certain you check the better business bureau, Yelp, Google reviews do as much research as you can before you retain and if you find a good one still check the status everyday by going over there to the property.I will update this post with the name of the book I read.In closing, Fortune Builders is a SCAM, why do you need to pay 30-50,000 and still have to pay for your property, general contractor, attorney and materials!

So just research the area and talk to a local RE agent about flood zones when looking cause that could be a game changer for your numbers. 

We’ve had great success listing and managing our own rentals, however I’m aware selling is another ball game.

As even with hardmoney they require some skin the game.

I did work a few years before retiring into the 'you're going to lose it all' REI game.

This allows a lot of house hackers to get in the game, and if the area is strong they may see continued rental appreciation that allows for this cash flow to increase.
