@Dave Foster is correct as usual.  

Yes - I believe that odds are better at making an NFL roster than sustained modest six-figure success in wholesaling.Most of this industry is filled with broke no income no job, no assets types who paid a large educational fee to one of the ~5-20 major gurus in the space and will never make meaningful income.

This month, I added two new properties for this very reason: being local allows me to respond quickly if needed.Being prepared for any situation fosters trust with property owners.

Whether it's joint ventures, co-investing, or sharing insights, I'm always eager to connect with other investors who share my vision for success in real estate.My goal is not just to succeed individually but also to contribute positively to the real estate community by fostering growth, innovation, and ethical investment practices.

So you want to get into real estate investing or start a business in a new field and want to create meaningful relationships or potentially look for a “mentor” to help you get started.

With prices where they're at and rates still relatively high (even with the recent drops), I don't see LTRs anywhere in Colorado cash-flowing in a meaningful way. 

Quote from @Kaiden Foster: It really depends on what your goals are for a property.

Granted, this can be a learning experience about how to harden rentals properly, but it often creates all kinds of nostalgic sentiments that can flare up into conflicts with the tenants.The usual scenario is that the tenants move in, live as tenants do, and the newbie landlords go back in and find delicate stuff, or meaningful stuff, or stuff that they didn't even know was meaningful to them damaged or painted over or disrespected in some way, and then the newbie landlords get in this forum and moan about how tenants just don't respect their landlord's property, and they get ten other newbies commiserating and telling them that yes, yes, yes, they're right, and their tenants are bad, bad, bad...and of course this can lead to all kinds of poor decisions.

My dream would be to buy a run down motel/hotel and fix it up and run an orphanage/foster home. 

I'll think about how I might foster a constructive conversation first.
