The brands I've been bid on have been:Eco WindowsCGI Sparta SeriesLawson IndustriesESWindowsAssuraAssura is from home depot, main advantage i've found is that they have a quick lead time of 4 weeks, compared to everyone else saying 6-8 weeks.CGI I heard its a reputable brand with a good warranty Lawson, cheapest quote but Im' hearing has a huge lead time now and they have been messing up peoples orders with sizes or specificationsES Windows, comes from Colombia and I heard spare parts, replacements and customer service is terribleEco, I haven't really heard much about but price seems close to what I'm being quoted for CGI Spartas Anybody on here with more experience that can help me narrow it down? 

What are the main things that you look for when trying to really narrow down on a market?

Pete) and have narrowed it down to finding a single family home with a pool in the unincorporated Bay Pines area or Indian Rocks Beach (note, it took a long time for me to get over my beach view condo dream in a popular area but HOA fees and restrictions helped!).

Assuming you narrow it down to 2-3 areas I would then speak to several property management companies and/or investors to develop you 1-2 target markets.

The median price is the difference between B and C.Here is what that looks like for my Market Milwaukee County (which includes the city of MKE)Median Home price August 2024: $267,422this gives you roughly the following:class A: 500 and upclass B: 267 to 500class C: 134 to 267class D: under 134Investing around the median price (either C+ or B-) is always a solid choice.

One other thought too- if you feel like you are having too many deals, maybe then your buy box may be too wide, and and you can narrow in on what area / location / return you truly want. 

Narrow in on a community, buy a house, hold on.P.S.

The big difference today is we dont have to carry paper.. we buy for cash and sell for cash.. its a very narrow niche of course.. and the marketing is just like any of the wholesalers big spend on out bound .. and guys/gals that can close a deal on the phone..

Then narrow your efforts to those types of endeavors that also have a payout.

That should narrow the search to a few states and a dozen or so cities.
