If we look at the pre-recession years, we see that the Total Listed quickly sky rocketed in the years preceding the crash.

I live in Boston and home values here are just sky rocketing.

Prices in the Portland area have sky rocketed like a lot of areas to the point that getting positive cash flow is very difficult.

Rental demands are going to sky rocket and buildings out here are dirt cheap right now.

Learning this takes some time and effort but it is not rocket science, though experience will help.

It's not rocket science.  

Although my father-in-law is willing to lend us money for down payment, and our credit score has sky rocketed, it is still a big stretch because of our income. 

I'm new, doesn't mean I won't be getting wholesale property to sell.the questions is 'Profit margin vs demand'If I'm the cash buying investor, I'd go for where demand is there and get reasonable profit vs just going after big profit margin, not knowing when the property will sell.I don't think it's a rocket science reallyIf you can understand how stock market works, same principle applies. knowing psychology helps where to look for motivated sellers too.I don't need any mentors, just some information.

They don't have to be rocket science....even though most lenders make them difficult. 

@TJ Addison Highly advise that you shred it and pay a lawyer $300 to do it...suppose you want to re-fi...think of the possible implications when you transfer title back to your own name(assuming 1-4 unit)...or when the tenant falls down the stairs and sues...the cost outweighs the negatives...you can't blame Rocket LawyerGood luck!
