You need to build a solid foundation if you want to last in this industry. 

Etc.Your net-work is huge in this industry, so I'd encourage you to go to local meet-ups, spend time with other successful investors, etc. 

Currently, The average homes sell for about 2% below list price and go pending in around 29 days.Really nice homes can sell for about 3% above list price and go pending in around 9 daysTo get the best deal - buy off market not retail overpriced MLS properties listed by Realtors who receive their listings only because they gave the seller an overinflated, unrealistic price - These properties languish on the market and then get reduced to a price that's more in line with reality -and above all DO NOT use a Realtor !

But you can see the pics below and make your own judgement.Since then I've talked to others in the industry, and when I mention Ohiocashflow they kinda go "ohhhh......" like "yea, we've seen this before..."

With systems and procedures in place that are time tested to welcome longer-term tenants and give investors a hands-free experience.The industry is maturing year over year with the backing of necessity.

When you start talking larger multi family properties and commercial buildings (office, retail, industrial) then cap rates become a much bigger factor. 

I would try to put yourself around the industry as much as possible.

I noticed a big downturn in the job market in my industry (software development) which is very unusual. 

I would welcome a much higher barrier to entry for our industry.
