I've torn out the old window and mixed glass block mortar and put in new ones myself in a few hours. 

Among other things, it keeps you focused on "the prize", and away from detours chasing "shiny objects of distraction".Go ahead an bounce your plan off me if you like.

There really isn't, despite what the gurus tell you, some "wax on, wax off" secret to this business you just run the play and put in the work. 

My goal is to be able to put in a few numbers (purchase price, improvements, closing costs, financing info, revenue assumptions and op ex) and essentially get a full analysis on if a property is worth investing in based on the criteria I've set out for myself.

Hi @Bevla Reeves I do not use Instagram due to the ease to get sidetracked and look at never ending pictures (I have enough distractions in life :p).That said, if it works for you to find investor friendly realtors, then by all means use it :) 

hi takeshia from " elvis country"....lol. wholesaling is a good part of the flipping houses and RE world. however, each state has its laws regarding wholesaling. i would tend to believe a real estate attorney from the area on his or her opinion. i wouldn't say something is illegal if you can get a license to do it, its just illegal to not have the license. then we get into the gray area of exactly what wholesaling is. if you find a seller, and put them in touch with a buyer for their house, you are acting as an agent. without a license, that is illegal. but, if you find a seller, YOU get the house under contract to buy, and put in the contract your right to reassign the contract, that is wholesaling and might NOT be illegal. in that case, you are not acting as an agent because you are not bringing two parties together. you are actually contracting to buy an item, but then exercising your right to sell that contract which does have monetary value. just like a corporation creates a stock certificate and sells it on the stock market, it is just a piece of paper with monetary value that you are selling. please check with at least one other real estate lawyer and explain the process completely. show them how you would not be acting as an agent between buyer and seller but as an actual purchaser looking to sell the asset you have created. that may make the difference. 

@Keith NelsonAs rare as they are, some multis do exist in clusters in Cary within your price range, although you might need to put in a bit of work yourself - sounds like you're ok with that, though! 

The house has too many distractions and I can think of too many ways to procrastinate while there. 

I have not signed anything yet so I will make sure that language is put in the contract.

Be careful with the realtor thing as it can sometimes interfere with good investment analysis and many of the peer pressure that you get as a realtor can distract from fundamentally solid investing.
