Also, look at finding your multi family properties in other areas possibly or get some SFHs to get some traction/movement going.

How do people seem to gain so much traction to add multiple rentals per year?

Actively looking at multi-families (2-3 units) to rehab and eventually rent out.Starting to feel my offers are too low as I haven't gotten much traction on 5 offers.I of course take ARV - Estimated Repair Cost - Desired Profit - Margin of error $/%= Offer Price.What are some other factors to consider?

It looks like they're finally getting some traction and I finally have an opportunity to buy for cheap.

This will wear off and hopefully you have good traction and reviews by then.

And for sure trying to make a business of loaning money for EMD to wholesalers to me simply is not a business model that many folks will ever really get any traction at or make any decent money.

It's hard to say, as I'm still new and looking to gain traction, but at the moment I frankly feel a bit ripped-off, as it seems these guys aren't making enough hundreds of thousands of dollars annually doing deals- they need to add a coaching cash cow to their menu while preaching about the importance of being "go-givers".

Just take action, even if small steps, and you will gain traction towards that first deal. 

Once you get beyond the first one you will gain serious traction if in fact that is what you are after.
