Get familiar with the way the market ebbs and flows, know the local players and make sure you become a household name for your niche if you decide to do this full time.It is my personal opinion that you should be able to figure out if a deal is worth calling the seller's agent after 45 seconds of spreadsheet work, not 13 pages.
