April/May will be interesting to see the dynamics. 

Just trying to visualize what these would look like and what is best for me and my goals. 

I do believe his returns that he mentions, and there are some dynamics that I agree with in terms of aging population, greater health in that population that wants some freedom, but also needs some help. 

The visuals go a long way. 

Here's some to get started, and I'm sure people have better:* virtual work will migrate down the food chain of jobs, making internet/visual hookups more like a utility and possible differentiator for residential landlords*rental/business interruption insurance will evolve..more expensive and more comprehensive?

@Heather Frusco  now that you started a very dynamic thread.lets look at it like most real estate business'sthey are for PROFIT and or for LOSS..When we build new homes we hope to make a profit but sometimes we dont.. market conditions changed on us or whatever its incumbent upon ourselves as investor builders/developers to plan for these types of outcomes that are not ideal.

A flat rate here creates a "winner-loser" dynamic that always going to be unfair to one party.There are many factors internalized in a firm's fees as hinted by previous posters. 

Even with the favorable market dynamics, you still had to be quite a hustler to make real money wholesaling.If you think the market is going to get much worse from here (I'm not sure I agree, but maybe), then there will be deals galore.

Otherwise if the security of visually seeing the investment daily is important, might as well just buy in California. 

Personally, I terrorize cold callers when they call me for anything so I don't know why you think someone would be receptive just because some voice is claiming they want to buy their house with no references or visual notes that could tell them who you are.
