Also, thanks for providing me with the tip of possibly subletting the rental apartments - I have not looked into that method. 

I was told, and again this may not be right, that if you itemize your auto-deductions then you can't use the mileage method of deducting. 

ThanksI’m thinking of starting using the Subto method so I wanted to see what all the noise is about. 

It's the simplest method that produces results, but agents fail to put in the consistent effort. 

I believe google adwords is a more effective method because you can target words such as "sell my house fast etc."

I think I have solved the problem, just waiting for a rain to prove it before recovering the trench with concrete.Plan for my company:Real Estate investment is not my end point, and I believe with the proper plan I can skip the standard "buy 4 green houses, and turn them into one red hotel" method.

Doing it myself a rough estimate comes out to about 170k ARV, and using the BRRRR method would put me just over 200$ take home not including getting rid of current tenants and vacancy cost.

I have also seen several guru programs supposedly teaching people how to wholesale with their "proven method" for the low price of a few thousand dollars. 

My suggestion is to generate leads applying both methods as opposed to only one of the two. 

It requires more specialized knowledge and skills than other methods of real estate investing.
