Do not lose sight of your life purpose; find what you love doing and spend the time that you have in developing that craft..

If your standard of living requires spending 750k to 850k on your next house, then stay and get a heloc to use that equity for investing. 

The deal is too unlikely to happen for me to spend more time on it.

There’s no reason to spend $5K on the house, $65K on repairs, and you’ll have holding costs for a $65K rehab so you’ll be out more than $72K by the time you get it rentable.

Spend your time doing sales. 

Plenty of wholesalers do it this way - they close on the property and spend a few hundred bucks cleaning it out and then they can have as many people inspect the house as they want without the seller objecting, etc.

You might have to spend money around 15-20k for paperwork, logistics, and setting up a company.

I went for 4%, so I could spend less out of pocket.

The hard part is to educate a home buyer that they should spend 90K on a home, (80K purchase and 10K my fee), and spend the next year doing a minor rehab which would cost them maybe 10K rather than spend 130K on the next door house already fluffed up.I was usually in my car by 7AM and rarely finished before 10PM 6 days a week.  

I'm a fellow investor on the north side of the city and spend a lot of time researching properties all over this area.
