I have NO knowledge of your market but if you have access to properties with lots of equity and the market fundamentals check out then it could be a really good option and you could do less deals to make your money while building long-term wealth by keeping a slice of the pie for yourself.

Put $100K cash in bank for easy access, maybe money market, no risk and low yields.

That may be part of your problem there already.Also, if your mom is your buyer's agent and she is not signed up with a firm, and/or she is not a Realtor and is therefore not a member of the local board of Realtors, then she will not have access to show you the house via any lock-boxes that the local board may be using.

If I'm mining through the MLS and see something of interest I want to have the access to run out to the property right away or just review the numbers and be able to submit the offer right then and there.I have always found real estate interesting since I was in my young twenties.

I am looking for some clarification on the MLS.In California only real estate agents, brokers, etc. have access to do deals on the MLS, correct?

Anyone with internet access can see/buy the same properties I buy.

@Mike Nelson Have you thought of utilizing your cash buyers list being a wholesaler you've access to private lenders already and can easily call them up with no problem.

I would envision entrance through a main hallway to individually locked spaces with security, 24 your access...etc and built specifically for document/light storage rather than cars/boats..etc.

In general I think any time is a great time to buy if you have access to sufficient non-MLS deal flow and know how to evaluate opportunities for given product types in a given area.
