I will probably flip this place eventually for a nice equity play. 

What I usually see is this: • One exit strategy • A small buyer list • Little clarity on numbers • Marketing that turns on and off depending on how things feelThat combination creates inconsistency.Not because the market is bad.Not because wholesaling “doesn’t work.”It happens because the business has no flexibility.And flexibility is what gives you control.Strategy OneTurn Wholesaling Into One Option, Not the Only OneOnce you can consistently get off-market deals under contract, your leverage should increase, not stay the same.That is where additional exits come in.Things like: • Wholetails • Novations • Light rehabs • Creative structures • Eventually buy and holdYou do not need to do all of these at once.But even having one or two additional options changes how you approach deals.You stop killing contracts just because the wholesale spread is tight.You stop feeling boxed in by one number.You start looking at how to solve the seller’s problem in multiple ways.That shift alone improves margins and confidence.Strategy TwoStop Letting a Few Buyers Control Your BusinessIf most of your deals go to three or four buyers, leverage is not on your side. 

Eventually you will cash flow, but that will take a few years and cash on cash return will be terrible. 

My goal is to upscale eventually. 

A thorough investor could eventually catch the first two.Case 3 is different.

I’d like to turn it into a business full time eventually and feel ready to start while working full time with my current financial situation. 

Even if you eventually invest out of state, the Midwest is super relationship-driven, so building that local network now will pay off big later.

Because my day job is in tech, I eventually gave in to the itch to “just build something” to make my own life easier.

And it can build the confidence to eventually step into investing yourself.I just recently received my CCRM certificate in CA and I'm doing smoke/CO and habitability inspections for a property management company.

Eventually, you'll find someone who's willing to come down to your number.
