If anyone in Pennsylvania is looking to sell their houses through a wholesale agent please consider myself as a reputable source of help.

>Successful collection rate on LTR is not even 15%What is the source of this stat?

My point is cash flow is only one source of return on RE and in my opinion the least desired because it gets taxed annually.  

I don't have a lot of confidence that those numbers are true (10 DOSC for him, a few dozen for his students), considering the source. 

Because if you make good money and always have a source of funds for emergencies then you can use the money immediately if you have enough for a down payment on another property or put it in a high yield savings account or treasuries for a low risk return with good liquidity.

We do a pretty good deal of site selection with data behind it and use experian as a data source. 

The skill comes in sourcing deals that arent only on the MLS.

Are you having more success sourcing off-market properties, or do you focus on distressed opportunities through agents or wholesalers?

When investors see that you’re looking out for them, that you treat them like partners rather than just capital sources, they start spreading the word.

@Spencer DixonRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.
