If everyone is looking for deals, how do you ever find one?
Hi, new to BP and I‘m wonderIng how I’ll ever be able to find a deal? If a deal makes sense, then I can‘t be the only person runnIng numbers and thinking it’s a good deal. Is it wrong to assume the “market is smart”, generally has access to all the same info I do (maybe more), and snatching all the good deals up? I’m all about being positive, but I think reality is a good perspective as well. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
