Look for patterns and consistencies, just because you see a few ads advertising a 20% return or a 7% return doesn't mean that's the market as a whole.

Have you noticed any patterns about what redeems versus goes through title process?

I pattern the meetings after those that James Orr runs in Northern Colorado.Hope to see you there!

I would say that the pattern is it takes up to 2 weeks for things to happen, and it all compounds, esp when dealing with vacant units. 

, look at the pattern and learn from it... figure out what the market is demanding and make adjustments.

It's a pattern that repeats itself every cycle. 

Possibly my worst is some wallpapered ceilings (tin pattern) that didn't adhere properly and started peeling long after painting.

Marble murolet.. and many other manner of creatures.thank god we don't have a vernal pool that would be lights out.. 

Turn key operators in warm belt states there is just not enough inventory for a viable business model unless it is at much higher price points than cold belt.Cold belt states tend to give off higher cash flow at lower price points but in general the growth patterns and appreciation levels are more isolated.

But there is a pattern I've observed:  Go to a "free" seminar, get pumped with the idea of no money down REIGo home and start wholesaling Don't find a deal in a year Abandon the REI dream I say to people all the time if you have some money $25k or more [and you do Maria it's in your home as equity], then buy something just skip the wholesale step unless you are like super young with a ton of energy to dissipate on chasing sellers and investor "buyers".
