Maybe my disappointment was due to my inexperience and unrealistic expectations.  

BTW I assume you are cash if not your buy box is even more unrealistic All the best 

If its the later you need to sit down at your computer and research a few of those cities for 30 seconds to see how unrealistic this is haha.

Although I do believe some of the out of state investors do have somewhat unrealistic expectations regarding the properties POST close and how they perform..

@Will E.I realize this is an old post, but I would second what many others have mentioned here - once you find a tool/software that you're comfortable, don't forget that accurately estimating market rent, vacancies, operating expenses and cap ex is extremely important.No matter how good or accurate the calculator you use is, if you're providing it unrealistic or unverified inputs, the output "analysis" that you get back will be very suspect.I also always suggest running analysis on a few dozen properties in the city/area you're interested in for practice.

I see more properties for sale and longer DOM in all of Miami.Prices are a bit unrealistic even in some of the war zone neighborhoods.

As I clearly stated, it's not only logistically unrealistic but IMMENSLY socially destructive because the measures and actions required to do a round-up and deportation of 10 MILLION people, a number greater than 98% of American cities entire populations, would in fact look exact like a Gestapo Nazi America. 

This ideal is unrealistic.

If they had those genes all would be constantly fighting for territory (includes food) and the right to mate.Most of our cousins in the primate family are content to sit and watch someone else call the shots (provide jobs etc.) and tell them what to do.To think if everyone applied him/herself we would all be capitalistic billionaires is .... unrealistic just as thinking that everyone given handouts will never escape such dependency.

No, it is none of their business.People need to stop thinking that a wholesaler should bow done in submission to cash buyers.the only thing the cash buyer needs to be concerned about is whether or not the deal presented to them satisfies their requirements or not, including the profits.If it does, great, buy the contract, if not,  either renegotiate or walk away.Of course, some wholesalers are very unrealistic with the numbers, but that is on them.That said, it is easy to find out how much a wholesaler is making especially after closing.
