I have a property in MA and the vacancy is basically 0%.

Basically, don't like having new neighbors.Motion 2- Action to approve. 

So, you basically have two options:1) Find a local wholesaler that is killing it and get on their team (either for free in exchange for education or try to get hired if possible). 2) Get yourself a mentor who's actively doing wholesaling.

But, only to find out the new bank I went with does NOT offer temp debit cards so basically I'm cardless for 10 days.

You basically worked for free and the lender still gets the loan, just without you in it.

Make sure you understand the concept of Neighborhood/Property/Tenant Class and research it for the areas you target to invest in.

With the rise of AI, we have a huge advantage over the competition.And not so much with the USE of AI, but in not using it.Handwritten letters are doing better than AI phone calls.In person appointments at the house have a higher closing ratiothan closing over the phone.There's many investors I know all over the country that are going back backto the basics of knowing belly button to belly button will be the mostpowerful tool we have in negotiating a deal, and really building a relationship.We won't close every seller we meet, but think of how many more can be closedbecause we set the appointment, met the seller in person, and built truststronger than anyone else.Same with content.

There are basically no "Buyers". 

After you cover the basics, I would recommend trying out a decent rental property calculator (BiggerPockets has a good one) and running real numbers from local listings to see how they land.

Love the concept of 10% helping domestic abuse clients!!
