I think the potential for big paydays combined with the low barrier to entry causes an oversupply of real estate agents. 

Adam,The battle I'm sort of fighting is whether making my payday when I sell the Texas property bigger to roll into a bigger/more property when I do that sale, or to expedite having the Indiana property free and clear better serves me long term.I am all out of conventional mortgages, and havent looked for portfolio loans for mortgages past the first four.The Texas property has about 80k left on it's mortgage and the Indiana property 49k.

It depends.Would it be"worth it" to have better protection when someone discovers you hold real property in your own name, figures you have a ton of insurance coverage and decides to make his/her own payday by going after it?

I wouldn't do that to the sellers nor do I like one-time paydays at high tax rates.New investors do need cashflow.

Shysters drool over such cases and often spend the big payday before it even happens.

This "wholesale" is not under contract, not a deal (even the seller wants approximately $2M more than Zillow) and the "wholesaler" is building in a 7 figure payday.

It’s like a third payday, that I don’t do anything for lol.

There's automatic transfers set up on paydays.  

Make sure you cover your timeshare with aluminum siding the door-to-door guy sells you, have the driveway paved by a Traveler who just happened to have some extra asphalt from a job in your neighborhood, fill it with furniture from Rent-a-Center, and pay for it all with a payday loan.  

I can take it to the bank while waiting for appreciation (my big payday).
