It is still the #1 best, cheapest, most effective strategy to simply negotiate and work with the tenants on a human level.

Wholesaling is simply the act of getting paid for deals that you don't want to keep   In your quest to find a good flip, you will 100% find deals that arent right for you.

My husband is a physician and he has been listening to Bigger Pockets all along and wanting to get into real estate investing, but he and I both have simply not had the time to dig in until now.

Enter the data into a cap rate calculator 

These are often tenants who have allowed uncle Billy Bob who just got out of prison for drug sales to move in with them without notifying the landlord.Make sure that you follow the requirement for your state on how much time to notify the tenant regarding these checks prior to entering the rental unit.   

I chose to enter REI via the wholesaling path due to a lack of capital needed for direct buy and flip.

@Thomas WillinghamI would stat renovating vacant units and then simply non-renew trouble tenants and offer good tenants upgraded units if they are interested. 

If you're simply looking to make your money/networth work as hard as possible for you, it'd be a good time to sell and deploy the earnings elsewhere. 

@Stephen Brown @Joe Villeneuve @Greg Scott Sorry guys.. appreciate the replies, the reason my original post was numberless is simply because I didn't have my journal with me.
