Those can give out (which is why you should have your laterals inspected before you buy) and are often subject to infiltration by tree roots.

They expressed deep rooted reasons as to why that was and I’ll try to address those shortly.

Take it with a grain of salt or a whole carton or morton's iodized, because at the root of it every investor is different and so is every unique investment situation.Thanks for all the great insight, Sean!

Hey @Jake Wosick - You should definitely connect with @Zach Shepard above, he's been a great mentor for me and knows the off-market chicago space better than most.In my opinion, the key to off-market deals is understanding the ROOT issue with the seller. 

There's always another level to climb.Fortunately, there is a solution: risk mitigation through team building.If you look at the ways real estate investments can go awry, you'll find just a handful of root causes, including:Flawed business structuringAbsent, flawed or incomplete financial analysis of the opportunityLack of adequate due diligenceLack of skilled property managementLack of financial controls and systemsI see new investors fall victim to these risks every day!

If you're having trouble in your wholesaling business, please look at your marketing first as this is likely the root of many of your issues - especially if you are new or closing less than 2 deals per month.

We even went ahead and had a new roof put on, because we couldn't get to the root cause.

Can I root for more than one team?
