How hot/cold are the leads?

I've used facebook groups, Craigslist post, and some cold calling.

How do you ease the anxiety of being highly leveraged?

That being said the most effective approach for driving for dollars is cold calling.

Cold Call?

Fast forward ten years from now to where you are holding rental properties but have nothing saved for retirement: that may be an anxiety-inducing scenario depending on your mindset.

Craigslist , FSBO, Zillow will not work since Houston market is sophisticated ... you need get started with mailers/cold calling/network with realtors for crappiest house that they may get ...  

Baseboards are in where they need to be but it’s to cold to paint so I need to wait till there’s heat to finish that up. 

What positions do i need to begin a wholesaling businessI would think Someone to generate leads/Cold callSomeone to negotiate, make offers, and close the dealA contractor to view the property is that all?

I work remotely, I'm not attached to any physical location and looking to start my real-estate investing journey by acquiring cash flowing multi-families (probably residential as opposed to commercial to begin with, with a possibility of house-hacking with an FHA loan).Currently I live in San Francisco (renting) and if I keep this up I'll probably need to sell one of my kidneys :-\I'm looking to move to a different market (don't care how far / hot / cold) to actually live in, get a true feel for it, research it from the inside out, specialize in it and most importantly operate locally.I've done a lot of "general" homework - watched a ton of podcasts, read many books and analyzed some online data so I know what areas people and experts are talking about and developed some opinions - but at the same time I know that market attractiveness is very dynamic and subjective.So if YOU were in my situation and had to choose one market that you believe will provide the best upside for cash flow TODAY - what is it?
