The issue is I don't seem to have any good ideas to keep the ball rolling.

Also, any ball park idea of the cost?

I know that no one can tell the future of a tenant but the process they have in place to help their crystal ball would be a focus.

(And after I read "the e-myth" I knew for certain I had run my business like a monkey with a foot ball lol). 

Wholesaling works better in areas were there are huge amounts of surplus homes and dead and dying areas were the real estate community does not want to work and sellers are just happy someone is interested in working with them.. that's not the case in most west coast areas.. not that it cant be done.the wholesalers I know in these markets spend 100 to 300k or more  a year in marketing and they also close on much of what they wholesale.. different ball game here than in the mid west rust belt cities.

Any thoughts, tips, or resources you can share to help me get the ball rolling would be very welcome.

It doesn't have to be 100% accurate, just in the general ball park.

I figured taking out the loan and using it for the investment and then repaying the loan from the possible profit would kind of get the ball rolling. 

Not to mention occasional hairball and dust balls on hardwoord floors.Again,not the worst housekeeping but definitely not the best either ( Mind you I have sent tactful letters to all tenants reminding them of the importance of keeping the property clean).I provide to all my tenants extermination service ( free of charge) on a bimonthly basis( no pest problems just want to make sure it stays that way).

I have sufficient funds to get the ball rolling but i guess the main thing for myself is to connect with HONEST and TRUSTWORTHY people on this forum prior to myself coming up to Dallas.
