It’s stable cashflow and long term appreciation and tons of accelerated bonus depreciation on taxes. like most anything in real estate it’s a long term play. 

So I require skin in the game (average is 5% to 15%) to offset this.

I’ve been researching a lot about the basics, but I know there’s so much more to learn, especially from those who’ve been in the game for a while.I’d love to hear from experienced wholesalers about their journeys and any advice you have for a complete beginner like me!

If first time home buyers are having a difficult time coming up with the funds for even the costs to play as a first time home buyer then are the non profits supposed to pay the buyers agent commission too? 

@Brady Ascheman To make the decision strictly from a Property Management standpoint you have to calculate your vacancy cost and cost to acquire a new tenant to know if a rental increase is even a smart play. 

Stay consistent, set clear goals, and remember real estate is a long-term game that rewards patience and persistence!

RE is a long term game. 

This decision often comes down to a simple numbers game.

if all properties you see are below market rents, than I don't think they are really below market, typically.Beyond the cost of vacancy, renovation budgets, etc that come into play.  

My end game is to show you a path to financial independence, whether that be at 45 yrs old or 70 yr old.
