Aaron Mazzrillo What I meant by too late was before the area becomes saturated.

In other words, if I can already accomplish whatever you're offering to do or provide for $_X_ amount of dollars (normally in the form of a line item expense within the deal) and you are offering the same thing but want some substantial cut of the profit, that is an equation that won't ever make sense for me, naturally.This is only my opinion but the harsh reality is that competition is fierce and the market around here is both very saturated and currently remains a hyper-sellers market.

Parts of South Philly also got very hot over the last few years; but the high appreciation areas are saturated with investors and obviously not ideal for cashflow.

The housing market in Lawton Ok is saturated with rentals, albeit, mostly crappy rentals, so I would not buy where I could not comfortably convert it to a rental.  

Charlotte is booming but at the same time a little over saturated.

Many realtors or brokers just get the listing, list it on the MLS, and do nothing more, but most times you don't know till after the fact. 4.If you are just starting out and looking to get your foot in the door as a realtor in a hot market saturated with reputable realtors.5.

You can find properties where you catch the previous owner at their saturation point where they have already dumped money into a property in hopes of deferring its obsolescence.
