Flips and wholesale deals pay the bills and allow you to live a compfortable life while rentals can be accumilated over time and eventually used as a type of retirement plan... assuming you can only get financing for a few deals at a time, it would be wise to wholesale the excess deals you find when your hands are tied.... no garbage though, only properties you would be buying if you had the ability... just my 2 cents, good luck....!

I have purchased several properties with owner financing directly from the owner and the deals we put together were very good for both of us and allowed me to have a performing property producing cash flow and allowed them to retire from being a landlord.Simply my opinion, if you have meager resources, you do not need to tie them all up in a deal that has little upside for you as an investor.
