For now, I would like to focus my attention on the lending side as understanding contracts and what makes a good deal will set me up for later successes in investment when Im ready to make that move.Im here to learn, network and perhaps find a mentor that can walk me through a couple deals.

I also underestimated how often unexpected costs pop up—those surprise repairs really added up, so now I always budget extra.For my first multifamily, I dove in a bit too quickly and didn’t fully understand the financing nuances and ongoing management challenges.

Call a few local offices, explain you’ll be assigning contracts often, and see if they’ve worked with wholesalers before — some don’t fully understand assignments or double closes.

possibly help me understand analyzing deals better. thanks

Again, please, please, please take a moment to properly digest and understand my words.

There are so many great strategies to help you scale your portfolio, so I understand your desire to find the right plan and avoid mistakes.

This is considered unethical and many state are considering laws to regulate wholesaling.Ideally you have buyers lined up or you have a deal so good you know you can sell it.Your basic understanding is correct.

I want to understand the current workflow.
