Florida does not look like a long-term generational play to me - lol.

As a CPA, I was concerned with the limited amount of reports that can be generated. 

Starting a website is not a bad idea, but you should work on that later for passive lead generation.

If a deal does not look good, don;t stress, move to the next deal.Simple.Focus your energy on getting that pipeline set up.For us it is a lead generating website:For others its cold calling, or DMM, or bandit signs.Do you think I am going to stress if a seller is being difficult?

To be successful at REI you need to generate leads.

Because I have personal relationships with people and families who have been in Portland for generations, I find out about deals that would never hit the market because people in Portland will buy up the houses down there like crazy.

SO to be successful at wholesaling just focus on lead generation and you will be set!

I am looking into generating leads so we can at some point bypass the middleman (aka wholesaler) but that will take time. 

Putting the money into multifamily will generate far better returns than a 550k single family home.I think you need to sit down and really think about your goals and where you want to be in the next 5 to 20 years.You have many options.  

They do free screening, rent collection and generate financial reports for you to keep track of your rental property.
