Postage and printing add up fast.Requires consistency — one mailer won’t cut it, you need repeated touches.Virtual WholesalingPros:Potentially easier acquisitions since you can cast a wider net.Ability to enter markets with more deal flow.Cons:Building rapport is harder without face-to-face interaction.Lower spreads and ROI are common.Much higher cancellation rates.Finding buyers is more difficult, and selling properties takes more work.Bottom line: Virtual sounds sexy, but in reality, you often do more work for less money.

Is there a world where the financial partner waits for their cut after the 2 years to get more money in the end, or do they always want out immediately?

Unfortunately, the parents didn’t have a will, and now the adult child is concerned about what to do with the house.

@Jaxon Ludtke Correct me if I'm wrong but by biggest concern is that if your running costs of $600 include utilities then it doesn't look like you're setting enough/anything aside for regular maintenance, capex or property management (even if you're self-managing, the property should still be able to pay for its own management).The Fed's new inflation target is 3% so you need to raise rents by at least that much per year just to tread water.

You've basically cut your housing cost in half, plus get some tax deductions and have an asset that will grow in value over the long run.Of course, you need to factor in potential vacancy, repairs, etc into that cashflow calculation.

Any insights on how to make that “final cut” in choosing towns would be a huge help.Thanks in advance!

Enrique, this is an excellent breakdown — vacancy is easily overlooked as a cost, but it’s huge when it happens.A couple thoughts from my experience:Marketing + automation: Using professional photography, 3D tours, and multi-platform posting really does cut days on market.

They have a coaching program where they teach you how to wholesale step-by-step and will even help you close deals (for a cut of the profit of course).

Your concern only kicks in if there is a total loss.

For your next vacancy, don't cut corners.
