@Account Closed,

Keep your $5k, and start off with cheap or free ways of getting leads. This helps you to learn how to actually wholesale, how to market. You get to practice and see if you like it before you start.

@Abigail Timbol,

You can use very cheap or free marketing methods to start, that is what I did. Then as you do some deals you can start to use paid ways. You dont need to have a savings to start just start off very cheap or free to get leads.

@Alex Clos,

Yea stay in good areas if your looking for short term rental, closer to downtown the better. Corktown or Boston Edison be a good start.

@Darrius Harris,

Yea it seems like it, if the repair cost are $20,000 and they are all in at $58,0000 not bad. You may not be able to get a big wholesale fee but it could work depending on the flipper you talk to. You want to be 70% all in max, I like 65%. But yea this is a good one for a buyer.

@Ajene Harris,

No money down best way is wholesaling, I can help you out just message me. Little money down best is FHA house hacking, but THE BEST IS........Using OPM, friends, family, banks, private lenders all those are ways to flip or buy with no money out of your pocket. If you arent comfortable yet to use their money then start of wholesaling or house hacking.

@Javier Gaillard,

Metro Detroit may be a more steady market but Detroit better cash flow. The areas you are talking about are better flip areas that rental. These places have culture and pride. Buying a house in Rosedale park and renting it out is a good idea but being in the area people dont like to have renters there and they make it very known. I know you mean well but if your going about it right you can do good here.
