That is absolutely true with 1-4 unit properties but it is also true 5, 6, or 8 unit properties. 

I know have over 5 figures built up and it seems like an absolute waste just leaving it in a bank account, getting under 1% interest.

This new PM focuses on PM instead of real estate sales and acknowledged early on that at the rent amount it was being listed was at the low end and shouldn't be a problem renting; they were absolutely correct.

It may get you absolutely nowhere (I'm sure the Austin market is flooded with mailers), but I think it's a good exercise to do some of your own marketing and go "on the hunt."  

I'm making my second ever offer on a property tomorrow and would like to hear from pro wholesalers, what are some things you say to sellers to absolutely get the contract signed. the property has good curb appeal great block, needs some work on the roof, plumbing, and electrical, floors, and updated kitchen, and windows.

I am new to absolutely everything about real estate investing but i am very interested.

Yes absolutely, the tack strips are coming up today.

I would then vet them by checking references and asking for proof of prior work.I would even indirectly test the contractor, learn enough about fixing a home to ask a question that you know the answer to and ask them the question and see how they respond.If you have absolutely zero resources, someone on a podcast mentioned to go to your local home depot or lowes when they open and talk to some people there.  

I am so excited that I am absolutely useless at my day job right now hahaha!

I am also a very hard worker and will learn absolutely everything I possibly can to help me  succeed in this buisiness.
