First i make sure that whatever I do I am starting out profitably and then I avaluate or check out my feelers for what the market sentiment is and any evidence of a market direction so that if the market moves in any direction I can either withstand it or take advantage of it if possible. 

I really resent that you are accusing me of not performing due diligence, and my sentiment is obviously shared by more than one person in this discussion.

Unless you have surveyed every single wholesaler or run in circles where wholesalers congregate (BP doesn't count, the extreme and out of touch anti-wholesaler sentiment that runs rampant here causes most of us to congregate elsewhere), you have no idea what you're talking about. 

@Abass Sheikh - I agree with all of the previous sentiment.

9 years later, any change in sentiment about Realty Trac's online offering?

As someone who did very well with San francisco RE over the last two decades, my sentiment has been of course with prime and costal CA, and it has worked wonders for me.

SAVE learn then apply what you learn @Bob Stevens I get your sentiment but the tone seems a bit off putting.Seems like you’re biting off more than you’ve experienced with this deal, failure can be more rewarding that success but you can mitigate painful learning experiences by bringing the deal to an experienced real estate investor and apprenticing the deal under them.

What is you general sentiment you have towards the market?

Your post makes it seem like you have an emotional/sentimental attachment to the home.

Although I would not have worded the initial post in such a way I can understand your sentiment.
