@Josh Norris  I'm impressed you received 6 bids and one that was detailed that much (must be from a new guy that had no work).I try to put myself, mentally, in their position and it's a different dynamic.

The only property managers that generally touch these high crime areas live there and understand the dynamics of making it work.They are specialists and will want a premium of say 13% or more to take it on.

I'm a visual person so the seminar is a good STARTING point to gauge a baseline with of what you know vs don't know.5.

I am most interested in the Pittsburgh, PA market as it is in my backyard and I know very little about surrounding markets (as I'm still learning about the dynamics of the Pittsburgh Region).

I did see some new home building occurring about a half mile up the street but I am unsure if that will translate into changing the dynamics of these lots.

The dynamics of marriage are so broad and specific to each couple that I don't feel comfortable even making a suggestion.From my personal viewpoint.....I've been married for almost 18 years so my general perspective is....if things go really well with your investing, you'll look like a hero to your wife.

Yes it's very nice.I started to have a head ache...I wonder if they are legal residents...It's not a war zone area, probably very nice people who work hard, some of the residents do not have vehicles, but the building is only 3 blocks from a major road with public transportation.The numbers do work.But I doubt I can raise rent without upsetting the dynamics of that group.I also don't think these tenants found this place online, it's word of mouth.Something doesn't feel right.

Additionally, you'd meet some pretty dynamic people as that's priceless.That said, I don't have a license nor do I ever plan on getting one.

I'm looking to use Joe McCalls numbers of averaging 2-3 wholesale / lease options per month, anticipating making 5,000 per transaction, roughly.This may be a weird questions, but what do you guys find is the best way to visually display your goals in your offices as a constant reminder/motivational tool?

The latter missed defects the visually impaired would detect.Obviously the more detailed the report the better it is for an investor/buyer but what agents (esp listing) hate is using that inspection as leverage to reduce the price (& it could become part of the disclosures).
