When you graph the numbers, most US markets behave similarly in response to these variables.

I see only a few who appear to be having some success.

Only after you are under contract do you spend this money and effort with thrid parties.As a wholesaler, you have a bit less to do in that you will not be having a contractor come out or hire an inspector.

Schedules are not out yet Toni, but many (including myself) are arriving the day before (Thursday) and lots of us will be having a pre-party to discuss RE and have some fun.As one of the speakers for the event, I can not say how excited I am about this event.

Keep in mind that the trend graph looks like a straight line if you connect the start point and end point directly, but the market does not behave in that straight-line manner; so the connection is made with (potentially multiple) sinusoidal shapes that will go up and down within one cycle of the sine wave.

You learn how to behave in a professional environment, you learn how a business is run on someone else's money, you meet and learn from some very smart people, you learn how to communicate, you learn how to work with tight deadlines, etc.

It's a small business model at an enjoyable level for me... but looking to grow some.I'm new to BP because real estate is my favorite topic to exchange ideas and inspiration and found so many people like-minded here - very cool.I'll be having some questions about moving upward for sure, but may be able to help some with do-it-yourself rehabbing.Thanks for connecting!
