But most of all, be realistic with your rehab numbers and don't trust what the wholesaler tells you the costs will be.

In my opinion, you shed a realistic light on a segment of our business subject and really nailed it. 

I would like to shadow him/her on a number of deals to see this process all the way through.You do not need a mentor you need a realistic approach to investing.

Found that supplying this information indicates that you based your selling price in a realistic range. 

On another note, you'll want to be realistic and understand that turnkey providers are doing so much legwork for you that you can't expect a high ROI.

Plenty of folks may try to sell you the fantasy that you can have both, but they are likely trying to sell you something and in the end you may end up with neither, so I'd advise the realistic mindset of choosing one or the other.

Some are more realistic than others but still I see the benefit of having the license vs not. 

@Roy N. yes, there are properties for 30-80k all day... they just aren't worth an ARV of 200k like all of these BP wholesaler/flipper stories that we read in the USA.I was just looking at a bank sale last week. 73k asking (realistically it will sell for that because the house is not bad).

Thinking it will be fully passive, even with turn key properties with a big down payment, and still wanting any sort of decent return (better than say ~10% historical average from S&P500) is not a realistic expectation IMO.

My dilemma is that I don't know if I should just hang my license with a investor friendly broker where I can pay a flat fee-low fee/ high-full commission, no help company and "figure it out" along the way (if that's realistic).
