In addition to what others have said, keep in mind that New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and other big league cities have the scale and mass to absorb tens of millions of dollars in investment without going "tilt."

Practice regularly so your muscles are strong and fast.

Your clients are motivated sellers.You can NOT convert people who do not want to sell  (below market value) into people willing to sell below market value.The mistake people make (constantly) is their efforts are based on forcing non-motivated sellers to sell, by constant harassment.This is wrong.Instead of mass mailing blanket mailing,  and putting your energy in finding random people and forcing them to become motivated by putting a ton of effort and money into follow-up, you need to focus on targeting the RIGHT people.People who are actually looking for your service.Hopefully, it changes your perspective and you can improve your business.

If most people do wholesaling wrong and illegally, for crap's sake then educate the masses on how to do it right.

Even at $49 a night during the mass exodus from Tampa during Milton the unit still went unrented. 

Home owners and handyman wanting advice on how to do code illegal work.Amazon & box stores are low margin high volume mass marketers.But like moths to a flame the consumer mindset is easily dupedFor anyone still paying attention to this thread; legitimate business people don't buy retail, they buy wholesale.I thought "savy" investors looked for wholesale deals?

Then when rates drop, you can refinance and bring the payment down instead of competing with the masses as prices climb.

Got turned into the AG and one group got nailed criminally I also had FBI in my office about another investor who did this as a financial predator he got prison.So in my mind this is going to  play out again with Sub to being taught to the masses and people being people vast majority are honest of course but there will be predators mark my words on that.
