For example if you are making 10 deals in 6 months working 4 days a week, and only make 11 deals the next 6 months working 2 days a week, you can start to spot the diminishing returns a little more easily, or you might find that the 11 houses in the 2nd 6 months were twice as profitable as the 10 houses in the first 6 months, and your productivity might not go up, but your margin does.

@Scott Trench thanks for the reply/acknowledgement and definitely didn’t want to diminish the hard work you and your team at BP is doing (just had to point out a pain point for me and others).

One bad wholesaler doesn't diminish the necessity and usefulness of our service.

West Mobile, Saraland, and Midtown are starting to boom, however, pick the wrong street and the returns are extremely diminished. 

I would be making less money while the property value diminishes at the same time. 

You hit a point of diminishing returns with SFR on price points, and that price point is above it in Omaha.  

For me, diminishing 'influence' is just a de-motivator as far as publishing goes.

Omg there's a bunch of testosterone floating around on this thread.

As to the lender accepting payment from the new owner and how it diminishes the lender's ability to enforce the due on sale clause: I'd expect it to be easier to do with a bank with a brick and mortar where a person can make a payment by going through the drive thru.

Once you've experienced the successful rental of your first house hack, this fear diminishes.
