But as you are realizing, vacancies, repairs and particularly large capex items which are unavoidable at some point will eat that “phantom” cash flow you thought you had.I own tracked heavy equipment, and every few years you’ve got a $25k track replacement bill.....you've got to calculate those in “as you go”, before they occur.

What if I put all my eggs in one basket, all my money in one apartment building nearby the plant? 

Fluids should dissipate into the leech field and solids should be in tank where enzymes can eat them .

@Eric James One other lesson I've learned along the way is to keep your overhead down.When things get slow, that big monthly nut stays the same, eating away at your reserves without pity.More and more brokerages operate solely in the cloud because technology allows it and clients expect it. 

One bad egg can certainly spoil the whole bunch. 

First off, I'm completely new to wholesaling and for the past 2 weeks I've been eating and sleeping real estate from reading the education section of BP, listening to podcasts, reading books, and watching vlogs. 

Also, it is always the best strategy to have a mixed bag of eggs and diversified portfolio.

I have some of my own capital to loan but I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket and would like to eventually scale which would require more money as well as reinvesting the profits back into the business.Thanks in advance!

They make improvements to increase value and keep a big nest egg for high expense repairs.
