I hired a chimney sweep company to clear a blocked gas furnace vent and replace a faulty vent cap on the roof at one of my single family rentals.

Making some money on the side while doing this would be fantastic, but I'm more concerned about the education to be gained from the opportunity.My rough plan is to gain enough experience to become a wholesaler myself, and use the profits from that to jump into REI (Single-Family homes and Multi-Units) with a strong foundation.I'm currently residing in Cumberland County, more specifically the Vineland/Millville area.

Dude I BET some dude just winged it, talked about it enough, people believed it and it now is a "thing" on how to do it.I am TELLING you, if 70%-90% of the people call you back pissed off  why you keep sending them mailers, this method SIMPLY IS NOT WORKING!

Background: I've been looking around for areas just outside of the 610 loop for a single-family buy and hold. 

Is your current rental a single family and you want to get into a multi and that is why your selling? 

I was there every single day I was in town for the entire rehab.

@Jason Postill Every single strategy may and will work out well if you put in an effort and time into it.

This frees up your cash to allow you to keep making transactions and allows them to follow the lender guidelines.For rental, there are lenders that will loan 75% Cash Out, and I have heard of lenders offering more locally out west, with a 3 month seasoning requirement for market value.For primary homes, or house hack strategies, a HELOC may be the best bet, as lenders vary, but overall some strategies will offer the best savings of all.

I am looking to pick up a buy and hold single family or duplex property in the near future.
