These stats are in columbus ohio we place tenants. that's assuming professional pictures and listed in the MLS with IDX feeds to all the major players. 

VRBO and Booking.com are other major players.

If I were to go out of area I’d pick a more affordable market but than mitigate that risk buy buying an a/b class property there even if the theoretical cash flow isn’t as high as c/d.

A lot are in so-so areas (C-D) and some are just orphans.

if your not a real estate agent and your not their w 2 employee I suspect your out of luck. they can just not pay you at all.all those NDA NC agreements to me are just flimsy paper unless you have the money to litigate which 99% of people in these little transactions don't .. they are meaningless documents. that the bigger players just ignore and never speak to you again..

But what if an expert player who already mastered the game gave you that direction and coached you through it?

But I was wondering; From the more seasoned and experienced players in the game, would you say wholesaling or flipping is the way to get your foot in the door of real estate investing?

@Suzanne Player my last 506b I raised $10 million in 2 weeks and the legal fees to prepare the investor documents such as the PPM (Private Placement Memorandum), subscription and operating agreement was about $15k.

Most importantly, get to know the club organizers since they tend to know the honest players as well as those who consistently attend their clubs.

Totally forgot that the big players do have their yearly investor presentations-great resource to gain insight and see their data points.
