Typically, we do 100% of the units on ground level in LVP, and if its an apartment we'll do carpet in the living room area and bedroom area on all floors not on the ground level.

These costs also can be deducted up to 5k until it phases out if the cost is above 50k. 

While some of this can be accomplished sitting in front of a computer, boots on the ground can be your best means to learn the area you want to invest in and as you stop and perhaps door knock or speak to neighbors you see outside, you make contacts you otherwise would not have gained sitting at your desk.As to if this is a great way to learn “wholesaling”, I agree with Jerryll, doing deals and educating yourself by learning from others will accomplish that.
