From what I keep hearing everybody across the political spectrum seems to agree there is going to be increased wage competition.downward pressure on wages = lower rents?

Not to say they are worse just more active on the active vs passive spectrum.

This is where % of ARV must be adjusted.On the other side of the spectrum, a $750k ARV with a $400k acquisition and a $120k rehab is also a 70% deal but in this case, it leaves $230k in gross margin, more than enough to cover hold costs, re-sell costs and a huge profit.

While you offer great advice, it doesn't matter which side of the wholesaling spectrum you work, as long as you work it.

You can search under the network tab and then events for meetup groups.As far as the rehab, the spectrum is pretty broad.

If you are painting with a color that is in the same visual spectrum, or is simply the same color, and you use a high-end paint you can usually get away with one coat.

., land, value added commercial turn around, and bets on neighborhood changes.I believe its most important for a real estate participant to understand where he is on the real estate spectrum, i.e., investor, in the real estate business, or a service provider.  

They are completely different strategies and are both ends of the active passive spectrum, but if you are brand new, I'm afraid you'll get eaten up in the non-performing world of notes, lawyers, foreclosures, evictions, management, working out payment plans, etc. without a first step into notes with simple monthly payments and servicing that you get with performing notes.  

I'm sure there are members on BP that were at the other end of the spectrum where their net worth decreased because of lost value in a home or actual loss of a home completely.This represents a tremendous amount of buying power loss of the individual.
