Quote from @Imol Hoh: Hello everyone I hope this reaches you in good health, I have been researching wholesaling for a year now.

It almost never makes since to buy your personal residence.Take a look at this BP post: http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/166268-rent-or-buy-ratiosInvest your money (but keep a healthy amount of cash on hand always).You can buy your dream house a few years from now with the proceeds you made from that $30K.  

I've been able to get a healthy combination of both cashflow and appreciation from all my properties after a little TLC.

it does not need to be healthy just keep mailing them over and over good luck to you

If I have cancer and go in for chemotherapy, it's basically poison that also kills healthy cells, but it's still better than cancer.

In what ways do you promote a healthy, long-lasting relationship within your team?

We have priced the portfolio based on cash flow only, which boasts a healthy 9-10% leveraged cash on cash return year 1. 

If you are buying and holding, and have healthy cash flow on your properties, it makes no difference what the market does, people will still need a place to live.

Along with that: know that forgiving is healthy and positive but you don’t HAVE to trust again.

It will take me about 4-5 years to recover my costs to where I'm profitable (on a cash basis - but the property has appreciated substantially already) and I have a healthy monthly positive cash flow with high potential for future rent growth.
