I also network with various agents on these caravan tours.Well all of this is great, a lot of social media real estate "gurus" are peddling the "get rich through real estate" scheme via Wholesaling.

I would recommend mastering one marketing channel before spreading yourself too thin. 

Even with the market being as aggressive as it is, we are still finding deals with $100k spreads all over the valley.

So I am wondering why the schemes that the Seminars pull aren't be scrutinized more in the media?

One of our top Associates is out in CA so the strategy works quite well in CA.We always try to get a spread between what we have to pay out and what we collect from our tenant/buyer. 

Admin work, social media, online stuff, phone calls, pick up supplies from Home Depot, etc. 

But with more units it spreads risks and gives economies of scale.

You don't get realtors involved, that will just eat into your spread.2.

The ones I have been talking too did not fully, or in some case at all, know about the benefits of no taxes on 1031s (and we are working on helping them reinvest with US as partners to fulfill the 1031), or how the spreading out of taxes can work with seller financing with only enough down to cover their 'recapture tax' which is due in the year of sale no matter how much is used for a down payment. 

On the other hand, I wonder if due to all the media surrounding  A class buildings, whether if C class is the place to be if everyone is moving down to chase apparent, potentially  higher returns...So that maybe there is more competition for C class buildings than there may be for A class buildings.I am sure there are good sponsors for all class of properties in any part of the RE cycle.
