I don't play in the residential space.I do get spammed by (Wholesalers) e-mailing me these (Awesome) deals (residential stuff).99 percent of the time they do not turn out to be awesome but duds.If you are a broker ALL the real estate agents activities that have to do with real estate falls under the brokers supervision.The broker can dictate with an IC agreement what the agent pays for with each activity and how much and even if an activity is not allowed by their company.Many newer agents are desperate to do a deal just like newer wholesalers because they do not have much money to survive.Doing a deal properly falls way to "I need the money at all costs" before I go under kind of stuff.This presents a huge liability to the brokerage.It just isn't worth it.I would say a wholesale deal has just as many hurdles as a real estate listing by a broker.Some deals are tougher and some are easier.You have to get a bunch of steps to happen to get it across the line.Some might say one is easier than the other but I believe that comes down to experience and knowing how to solve problems and get the deal to close versus a new person messing up a few steps or not being able to problem solve on a deep level.

Much tougher to record big name wins, but we keep trying.

I am pretty much on track. 12 rentals, with a goal of getting to 20 10 purchases so far (3 are in purchase escrow still) with a goal of buying 40Already hit my goal for raising private funds, will probably beat it by 400% at this pace.Little worried as it is tougher to buy right now, but I am doubling up efforts.

IMO, wholesaling can be done in all area's but it is tougher in areas such as NYC.

But hey, a Maserati with an F1 transmission is more temperamental and tougher to use than a Ford, LOL!

Being new also makes it a bit tougher -- the right one will come along. 

I can't justify the expense of installing new hardwood flooring, so carpet it is.I always install porcelain (porcelain is tougher than ceramic) versus any kind of vinyl flooring, whenever possible, for all the good reasons already stated.

I am finding it tougher to find deals in that market this year over last.
