You can, however, ask a Realtor to just list your property in the MLS for a flat fee and do nothing else, meaning you answer any and all enquiries, show the property, do your own negotiations and make arrangements for the closing with either a title company or a real estate lawyer.

It's not just about making more money, it's about living a life that's long and full with those you love.One of the above pillars is giving back and one way I do that is to help people just getting started find, not just the next property and get them to sign a contract, but to also get people set on a path of success and show them the things that I wish someone had shown me when I started out years ago. 

Can someone PLEASE explain (in detail) how to calculate and analyze a wholesale deal?

I would do a HELOC, because if you don't want to take the money out you don't have to pay the interest, on a home equity Loan, the full amount is going to be advanced when the loan funds, and you will pay finance charges on the whole amount.We do investment loans on new construction, Typically we can do 60% of the land costs, and up to 100% of the vertical construction, not to exceed 85% of the Costs.Thanks,Dustin

As Theresa pointed out, the real point of a termination fee is to allow the tenant to break a lease early without negatively impacting your finances.

If you could find a duplex property (or a single family house that could be turned into a duplex--check any HOA restrictions first), or a "fixer upper" to live in, that could be a better use of the equity you have in the rental house.If you run the numbers and decide it makes sense to sell the rental house (check with your accountant, figure out closing costs to selling and buying) then you'll possibly have more money to put towards a primary residence.You may want to check the neighborhoods that fall in the school district you want to stay in and look in "under appreciated" areas...maybe not the A class neighborhoods, but ones that have potential of becoming "improved".While I understand your desire to stay in a particular school district, it's not the end of the world to consider other districts if they will allow you to build real estate/family wealth that will put your entire family tree in a better position."

If you ever need a hand with funding, I’d be happy to discuss hard money options to help you reach your goals.

I got in to real estate investing because of my passion for investing and project management.

Even an agent won't typically do these unless you hire them to place a tenant.You seem intent on being cheap, thinking you have to be to save money.
