I would add:Over-leverage: seeing people get owner finance and someone to toss them a total of 100% financing plus the costs of renovation sometimes crushes them even if they come in on budget and have the right ARV as they miscalculate the time it takes to sell as well as forget about all the other costs involved in a real estate transaction.

Too much cash chasing too few deals is having an effect.

Pros- flexible underwriting criteria that will only look at the transaction and less at your personal financials. 

I imagine you may be in for a surprise here in IL with how real estate is transacted.

You’ll also pay transaction fees disposing the asset, likely in the $40k+ range.I don’t think you have a clear-cut answer here, but you’ll need to rack up all the financial trade-offs to make an informed decision.

These platforms do not get involved in the transaction beyond the connection, and so any liquidity options and investor may have are simply what that sponsor has or has not offered in that individual fund/deal.

@Daniel Zubrik -- we just got approved for Experian, which is effectively the same as TLO.

The general reason (avoiding any personal thoughts on wholesaling as a business) is that when you have a license, any fee you get for transacting or assisting in real estate must go through your brokerage and they must take their percentage.

I really do not see tax policy effecting the market very much.Just my 2 cents, thoughts?  

In colder climates, for instance, winter months tend to be slower for real estate transactions, which can impact fix-and-flip timelines, rental demand, and even property values.However, not all markets are created equal when it comes to seasonality.
