Unit count is fun to talk about & can give an idea of the sophistication level of another investor, but getting caught up in comparing them has little to no value.

going dutch is how the industry worked for many years.. not as common anymore as the lenders have gotten bigger and more sophisticated and have software programs that can do the math with a click.

Here's an interesting post by a security expert who was initially fooled by a rental phishing scam:https://jeffreyladish.com/anat...It shows that the scammers are getting better and more sophisticated, where the applicant was sent a link that looked legitimate but actually sent him to a phishing site. 

There are only 168 hours in a week to spread among N people wishing to access their time-Their "helpers" are generally not as sophisticated or experienced.

I don't know where the term "wholesaling" came from - maybe a car salesman - it only makes sense to me - if you are an investor (one who controls, buys, contracts for, auctions or assigns/flips real estate for a profit) you are purchasing below market ( it would not be a wise investor who pays retail - unless for personal use or redevelop to a higher and more profitable use) - - I prefer to be an investor - to me and others in this business who see many of these folks who call themselves "wholesales" as less sophisticated in the real estate business (only understanding a limited and small portion of real estate) not a serious professional and knowledgeable making equity profits - others see them as opportunist often times getting over on sellers sometimes unintentionally.

Although I certainly get a TON of value from the platform already, I found that more sophisticated, nuanced advice for financing commercial and multi-family real estate was sorely needed.
