Stay there one night and test it yourself.

But as some one who was raised in this business has owned 3 brokerages I can tell you that only 10 to 20% of agents make 80% of the revenue wash out rate is high.. with Wholesaling I suggest that only 5 % who try it are still doing it in a year and in any given market there will be a handful of wholesalers that do pretty good to very good the rest just trundle along now granted if they make 50 to 100k a year in the mid west and were used to making 20 to 30k in their JOB this is a big improvement over where they were at..

They are very persistent in raising money for their other funds once you’ve invested in one…which makes me further suspicious.   

Once you have a shortlist, sign up for an account with each one and test them extensively to see how they function.

I’m open to flipping, renting, or exploring other strategies.My mantra is to test new things “fast and cheap,” so I’ll probably begin investing locally in CT before considering otehr markets across the US. 

After several months of hard work, I was able to raise the value of the home.

I rehabbed the bathrooms and kitchen several years ago and was able to modestly raise the rent. 

You can test this, by asking some to SHOW you how they calculate ROI, Cap Rates, Cash-on-Cash, etc., for their clients.Many will say, "that's the investor's problem".They are correct because an investor should NOT rely anyone else to run their numbers.So, then what exactly makes them investor-friendly?

You get a new property worth $1.5 million and you go about fixing that up and raising its value for the next move.Is this accurate? 

It’ll give you an easy to read view of how many of the points raised by Dan H and Chris S play out in a deal.
