In the southern part of the state where I am people usually only use Realtors and on occasion attorneys get involved.

@David Piqueira I'm a note investor and I can confirm that everyone who invests in notes has on occasion known of a specific house they'd like to buy the note on and it's pretty much impossible. 

In any occasion, best of luck in your investing career!

I have shopped them vs other local companies on several occasions but their rates are always better.  

We have offered on several occasions to come on a saturday or sunday to work and the tenant says we need to come during the week because he works overnights and needs to sleep ( I THE BUILDING OWNER WORK OVERNIGHTS THURSDAY THRU SUNDAY WEEKLY AND RAISE A FAIMLY AND VARIOUS OTHER ACTIVITIES AND I INCONVENIENCE MYSELF TO GET MY THINGS IN ORDER FOR SAID TENANT)I don't know how to resolve this problem and complete the work needed (just trim, and a threshold.

So they know what price to shoot for.On the rare occasion it doesnt appraise, just switch lenders to get a new appraisal.

I'm a relatively new landlord myself, but in the last 2 years and now 4 total rounds of tenant placement, I was able to find quality tenants and get them under leases within a week of posting the unit each time; on two occasions it was even within 2 days of posting!

P NW, I agree that your statements about wholesalers "keeping" properites are probably true under most circumstances for most wholesalers, but on multiple occasions I have persoanlly decided to keep properties that I was trying to wholesale originally.

It is a great asset class, I have looked at on a number of occasions. 

I’ve noticed that on more than one occasion.
