Tampa isn’t quite at a balanced 5.5 months of supply yet—it’s closer to four—but it’s slowly heading in that direction. 

Use your home field advantage, it's worth at least 20% - even going to Milwaukee (which is a slightly better market) makes you an OOS investor and that more than eats up the small benefit.

With properties sitting longer on the market, interest costs are eating them up and eroding that margin.

In Mexico, there are luxury properties that you'd want to target, with high vacancy, and the property managers will eat most of your profits.

What's that ONE repetitive task in your real estate business that eats up way too much of your time?

The people I know who attempted to “bootstrap” there way into wholesaling ( in the last 10 years) ended up either quitting in total failure or working two years for about $5 / hour and creating nothing of value.  5.  

The key is making sure rehab timelines and appraisals don’t slip, since every month you hold that bridge debt eats into profits.The bridge to a DSCR path has been a solid combo for a lot of investors I work with here in California.

But, I wanted to be better paid and make sure my deals worked, so I started doing creative financing, and going out to eat instead of stewing over bad meals.

@JD Martin, I hear you, but the restrictions over here are really limited to Asheville, and really only to about 2/3 of Asheville, and then Woodfin on the northern border of Asheville, which is quite small.
