Unless you're a millionaire and don't mind losing a significant portion of ROI... those investments companies are "ok".I personally wouldn't trust them with that much capital (I've spoken to an owner of one of those companies before and he could not generate a straight answer of his firm's average ROI over the years - they also had really poor property management of the few hundred houses/lots they've owned).

Capital is the only thing that has held me back from my own investing, and now that I'm going full time as a Realtor, I've hustled my way into an opportunity to also begin cash investing with liquid capital, something I thought I was at least 2 years from.So on paper....technically, I've sold three properties covering both sides on one.

No landlord headaches vs holding for appreciation, but wow-the short-term capital gains (ordinary income rate) plpus the self-employment tax b.s. really reduces your profit.

Cost of capital equal to 10% or less. 

I have an investor willing to provide significant capital towards my real estate business.

I haven't pulled trigger because I had other investments eating up my capital though. 

I have capital, expertise in remodeling and good ole sweat equity to offer! 

The few 10% who do have larger money the marketers can sell them on private coaching etc. or use their capital to partner on more deals.

Wholesaling is difficult and it requires capital.

The downside to this approach is not having the capital from the sell of the house.
