Another area that’s really good is close by which is Shawnee Kansas and you can find properties under 300k in a great school district that attracts renters and home owners.

@Clayton CissellEvery transaction has closing cost. 

They are educating the consumer that there are dozens of investors that want to buy my house for cash, so they now have choices, and wholesalers are often overpaying.I would concentrate on gap cities/counties in between larger metros.

I'm looking forward to a discussion that will hopefully guide me toward making a well-informed choice.- Robert-Lee

Put out signs and lockboxes for realtors.Cold call for a realtor or investor.Create a handyman or property preservation business.Become a notary, so you can close real estate transactions.Go to work for a courthouse data service, so you're looking at and recording the posted data for them.Work for an apartment complex leasing apartments or doing maintenance.Work for a property manager doing make ready.Do anything and everything in construction.Become a home inspector willing to work weekends.Work as a sales rep or helper for a builder.Probably all these positions could use someone that wants to work nights and weekends.   

So I have never looked at it as a Job.. its a lifestyle choice. 

Most title companies won't do "double closings", but they will do wholesale fee closings.

I'm currently about to close on a wholsale deal for $222k, purchased with an 0% down HML loan (using other propteries at collatoral) and the plan was to rehab, refinance out of it but the lender requires 20% down to refinance and so we feel our only option is to just flip once renovated.

Seems like you have no limit on options, this is really a strategy choice.

Starting your journey with multifamily properties is an exciting choice.
