As we see it, we feel we have the following options and would love everyone's thoughts and expertise.#1 - Traditional - Now vs. next Spring/SummerSell our property now (summer), move into a rental, purchase our next property in the 'off-season', Oct-Nov.

So now I am very excited to start meeting Realtors, investors, basically anyone that is willing to share their expertise of the Indy market and maybe get some deals done together!

This was fair to me because they were putting up all the money and me the expertise.

I love it and looking forward to using my expertise to help a lot of people and assist my friends and colleagues. 

She also has rental experience and investment experience/expertise.

Hey @Linda Weygant, @Nick Ciarniello, Account Closed -First off, thanks so much for the huge response rate and detailed feedback - I appreciate your time and expertise through this learning effort (I hope this helps me and others down the line!)

Uh-oh.But perhaps instead you could partner with someone else here on the site or another investor you know who has the expertise and money to make the deal happen.

I am also surprised at the rent numbers being as high as those indicated in this post but Mira Mesa is not my area of expertise.  

If that's the case it is outside of my area of expertise.  

The other potential issue is that there are far more bad wholesalers out there peddling garbage at an inflated price than there are good ones assigning good deals, and you as a newbie may not be in the best position to distinguish between the two and even if you were the good ones typically prefer to work with only a few experienced flippers who buy a lot of volume from them in a given year.If you don't already own your primary, you could start there with perhaps 5% down conventional loan, and in time either do work yourself to add sweat equity and/or utilize your friend's expertise to help remodel and add value.In the meantime, you could also get your RE license and work that way.
