Wholesale the deal to a buy and hold investor. If the tenant has a good payment history than you should be able to find a buyer. I know a lot of buyers that would love to buy with a GOOD tenant in place.

Hello @Matthew Dick and welcome to BP. Sounds like you know what direction you're heading, read through the BP beginner's guide if haven't already, it's very helpful.

Hello @J.R. Hanberry and welcome to BP. Check out the podcasts, they're packed full of information.

Hello @Andy Lambert and welcome to BP. My advice would be to make sure that you do some serious research on any program that requires a big financial commitment. There are plenty of reviews and advice about such programs on this site, for free. You can also find articles, podcasts, forum discussions, expert advice, and other great information to help get you started, all on BP, all for free. The point is, enjoy the free stuff first and you just may find out that you gained enough information to get started and still have all of your money left to make a deal.

lol I left my nursing job about 4 months ago and hope to never do it again. I practiced as an ICU nurse for 5 years and as long as things go well, I don't plan on renewing my license next year.

Paneling is never okay in my opinion, I just can't stand it. Occasionally, in just the right situation, it's ok in a basement.

Hello @Jerry Silvas and welcome to BP! It's always cool to see other health care people on here, I am an ICU RN. Take some time to listen to the podcasts and read the beginner's guide and you'll be well on your way.

If you're not a handy person and you want to do the work yourself then you need to learn. There are many people here that talk about checking out books from the library and learning to hang drywall or how to replace a kitchen faucet. It's a little different for everyone but I have taught myself everything from installing laminate, minor tile work, minor plumbing and electrical, hanging siding, installing windows, etc....

Of course, if you have a friend or relative that can teach you (or help you learn), life will be a lot easier for you.

I remember the first time I did drywall went a little something like this:

Aunt Laurie: "can you do drywall?"

Me: " I've never done it, but I can try?"

Aunt Laurie: "Will you drywall my closed-in porch?"

Me: "Sure!"

It went well enough, she sold the house. I have since hung 100 sheets of drywall and I'm pretty decent at it. That's the way...

There are many things, as I'm sure you will hear. The one thing I will add is that you can't be a GREAT wholesaler without a GREAT marketing strategy.
