I've seen this in the news.This doesn't affect me because I'm small time compared to these big companies.I also don't purchase any pricing software.

It helps being willing to talk to sellers/get on the phone and talk to folks in the real estate space in general but the most important thing in my opinion is being an honest and true person.

@Julie Doke: Industry specific software speaks to you and you can easily relate it to your day to day process.

Then you might be well into the black in a few years. 

Thanks in advance!  

I'm in San Antonio. 

Please add me to your buyer list :) Email me Jimmy and I'll get you connected to a few Wholesalers I get Inventory shares from here in Houston!

Some serious baked in costs for each. 

We arranged closing during a slower period of time & had him leave everything (furniture, inventory, guides, etc.) literally bought it & could start taking booking the same day.

Just google the following: - special assessment - zombie condos - Florida condos (look for recent news)Since you are not living near the properties anyways, why not look in a landlord friendly state where the purchase prices are lower?
