Now keep in mind, these are the guys that have been trained and are not starting up "cold turkey"Have at least 6 months of reserves on hand for eating, bills etc to cover the slow months.Going into winter is not a great time for the market in most places.Wholesaling is one of the highest taxed jobs you can have.Does it work, yes.

i barely made 50k this year with 2 jobs. 

You could even use the primary home to house hack.Wholesaling also doesn't require much capital, credit, nor even a job! 

Somewhere with low supply and high demand, population growth, a diverse and robust job market (even better if there are a lot of recession-proof jobs such as in government, education, etc as opposed to boom and bust jobs like energy and tech), high appreciation of both values and rent, desirability (somewhere people choose to live, not cheap locations where people live because it’s all they can afford but don’t really choose to live), and ideally within 20-30 minutes of where you live, but up to an hour away is acceptable if you’re just getting started, or farther if you know the location on a house by house level and have personal connections there.

When I'm evaluating MF opportunities, I’m focused on:• Rent demand, job growth, and the local supply pipeline• Expense ratios compared to market norms• Break-even occupancy and how conservative the underwriting is• How the deal performs under downside scenarios (flat rents, higher expenses, cap rate expansion)Multifamily is predictable.

It’s not for everyone, and it doesn’t have to be.Fourth, calling it a “con job” assumes bad intent where there usually isn’t any.

I moved here from Portland in 2020 and now own 10+ rentals because the fundamentals are so strong—population growth, job growth, and huge companies like Intel, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Honda, Microsoft, LG and others investing heavily here.

Does a great job, just takes a little elbow grease.

It would allow me to live without a mortgage and be able to fund future deals very quickly, particularly as my income climbs from my W2 job.

As I young teenager I was introduced to real estate investing from my football coach who at the time was heavily invested throughout the Chicago area and with doing so was able to leave his job as a Chicago Police officer.
