If you are going with a conventional loan the mortgage lender will charge a fraction of a point or more because it is a condo.

-Competitive advantage?

I am  extraordinary, resilient, positive, competitive, a great negotiator and salesperson, and have been successful at all of my previous careers, but, I really want to clarify the first steps with someone who has been doing it. 

There is some competition, but what I'm seeing is if your property is in decent condition and is priced well it'll rent.

Then there's competitive bidding with who knows how many other contractors. 

If he has handled even a fraction of your deals, he has exactly the type of experience I am hoping to find.  

Not unless you are feeding my whole business but me taking some time weekly to run a list for a lead generator, sure that's a no brainer in my opinion.Keep in mind though it will take the right agent, not everyone will work with a wholesaler, some consider them competition.

The competition is no joke around the LA areaAny info would be greatly appreciated Thanks,Ishmael

At the same time, I think the relative rarity of duplexes/triplexes/quads could be a competitive advantage distinct from the hundred of competing offerings in north Dallas.

Deals are always out there, but the competition is steep.
