Hey Jon,Yes you are correct that it is somewhat over personalized with my wifes taste so we probably only get 8% of buyers that it somewhat appeals to.No smell of dogs they are trained and house is always clean.

I've bought a handful of wholesale guides and courses and none of them talk about it (Bill Bronchick's does but there's still not enough info on it for my taste) So we go out there and do what these courses are telling us to do and get laughed at and generate a bad reputation.

You have to be patient and have self-control and it will pay off big rather than blowing through everything in the moment when you get a taste of success.There is not a set percentage.

The guy certainly sounds like a sleazebag, but there is too much anti-flipper rhetoric in the story for my taste.

Portland might be a little too cold for Rich's taste.

My reasoning is to 1.) get a taste of two different agents from the perspective of flipping (I've bought sold my own homes several times) and 2.) try to get agents with more aligned specialites...i.e. my buy agent has lots of investment experience, foreclosures, etc. and is an investor himself.

As someone has said once before, I have "wine tastes and beer pockets."

It sounds like you've gotten a taste of the investing bug and are looking to take things to the next level.

The mgmt took too much of the income for my taste.

Many people who can afford a $10 million house want something very specific and end up building a new house to their exact tastes.
