strong market fundamentals, good asset How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Wholesalers typically do not hold onto properties for the long term, but rather focus on generating income through quick transactions.The fundamental difference between realtors and wholesalers lies in their objectives and target markets.

There are still plenty of high paying jobs left, but the economic fundamentals are certainly not great compared to many other opportunities in other markets

I run a web development team and still code in web and mobile.

It's a duplex that I'll be house hacking.Outside of real estate, I enjoy almost ANYTHING outdoors, when indoors I love movies and board games, I'm dedicated to my volunteer ministry, and I've become fluent in Russian (learning Ukrainian).I also run my own SEO, marketing and web design agency, which I am PASSIONATE about! 

And like @V.G Jason said, is what I've seen recently and what you are seeing part of some fundamental shift in the dynamics from the past year, or is it simple seasonality?

If 1 person gets 2 letters, one sends them to their professional and credible website, that shows how many reviews they have, happy clients, shows how awesome they flip the houses, has 3 blogs is involved with the community and has a tremendous web presence... and the other... nothing...if it were you, which card would you call?

As in how many followers you have on your YouTube channel or how many page hits you get on your web page.  

Ideally would have iphone and web access to account.Would appreciate pointers both positive and negative.Many thanks.

I'd also suggest looking into house-hacking for your first deal.But if/when you decide to invest out of state, building your core 4 will be fundamental to your success, https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/core-four-real-estate-tea...
