Builders have no incentive to build new stock of clean affordable housing because margins are slimmer and many cities are against that type of housing.  

Investors will tend to pick the cheap contractor over the good contractor, because with so many wannabe investors chasing deals, the margins get slimmer and slimmer.

With the competition you may need to work on a little slimmer margins.Or you stick to your guns and do less deals and more profit margin per deal.

@Mike Gardner my investors are still getting deals off the MLS in the Chicago suburbs where I work, although they are slimmer pickings than they were two years ago.

That $1300 seems reasonable to me, but if you can only get $1200, your margin is getting much slimmer.

The reality in Texas is that you have only a slim chance to collect on a judgment and even slimmer chance to collect on someone you does not permanently reside in the USFocus on what is important now which is possession of the property.

Agents, both listing and buyers, know how the process really works and know if you're trying to wholesale a deal the odds of you getting an offer accepted are slim and those of actually closing the deal are slimmer still.Find an agent who can do electronic contracts and just submit offers blind (i.e., don't look at the place.)

I know this will mean my deal will be slimmer on my cut but the I am looking to get experience, knowledge, and hopefully enough either equity or cash to put into my next deal. 

So I have found that the deals on-market are getting slimmer and slimmer.

Any larger multi family I’ve looked into, however, the returns are so much slimmer than they are on the smaller ones.
