become a broker and get in the industry its very tough as well 50% burn out rate but 10 years in your in a very good position.. my wife has 25 years in  and all her business is referral she spend ZERO on marketing and is at I think 13 million in sales so far this year... pretty nice... also the mortgage industry is a nice space.. become a HML … I closed a loan yesterday and made a 30k fee.. it took me 3 hours .. plus I will make another 50k in interest.. etc etc.. trying to wholesale houses is one of the toughest things to do.. it really is.. just saying unless your ready to scale. and have the funding to scale.. its not a longer term gig.the big wholesalers I know are really just mid to small size real estate companies.. they have their marketing department.. they have acquisition managers that go out to the homes.. and they spend their time razing the capital they need to buy and or pay for 50k a month or more in marketing to really be a top dog broker / wholesale business..

To set the stage, here are a few key points:Property:2 story townhouse2 bed / 2.5 bathMostly carpet18 month old (yep, its brand new)Situation:Nobody was hurt to my understandingTenant did not have rental insurance even though it was required in the lease per my property managerTenant admitted, in writing, they caused the fire.Kitchen fire that burned the kitchen completely and I have smoke damage throughout.

My feeling is that's changing over a bit as DOM is increasing in some price ranges, and I'm seeing more listings with price reduction in the MLS.So, I'm watching to see if some of these flippers that didn't analyze the deal for a market pullback might get burned.

House flipping is a transactional business and even the best flippers are going to either burn out or hit a threshold where they can't grow any more.
