It's also a backwards experience from regular jobs, in that the broker or manager doesn't really interview you, but share with you all the things they can do for you in the brokerage to make you a great agent, which is all total BS. 

When looking for a deal, generally, work backwards. 

So many agents focus more on the regular old home buyer.... and that doesn't always translate to understanding an investor mindset.But to answer your question you are likely looking at this backwards.

I would recommend to keep saving and figure out your goal, then work your way backwards to today.

If the market goes backwards you go negative.3) if you come up north some a bit more, you can get 2 bedrooms units for the same price or less.

From my understanding, and maybe @Terry Owens can confirm, is that you sort of need to work backwards.

You see posts on here all the time about people looking for a mentor or looking to build a team to get started, but that is backwards in the vast majority of cases.

For this example, let's say you're promoting your REI brand by promoting a blog post that educates potential home sellers of why selling your house to an investor is the best hassle free wayYour funnel will probably look like this...Ad - Blog - Landing Page - leadWhat you would do from there would be to work backward using industry averages.

Run the numbers backwards and see if that price would work for you.

Historical median home prices increase 5.4% annually, so while we are currently tracking above that rate I don't think prices will go backwards again like 2007.
