If you buy volume, you should do well in the long run.

neither are we, so we are pushing volume we want a lot of people doing it so there are transactions and established values for the product we are building. it is economies of scale.

This take time and your demonstrated ability to pay on time, not so much the amount of volume you do.

I did not read the entire post -- sorry if it's a duplicate.call around to all local cabinet specialty shops -- high volume shops sometimes have orders that fall through and are custom made for someone else's space that can be a great deal -- and retrofit into the space in which you need it.hope this helpsalso if you install the prefab unfinished cabinets yourself you can do an average sized kitchen for 1200 + 200 for paint/stain done in 3-4 days max

And that's not due to lack of looking, because I wade through thousands of deals a year (and typically will invest in only a few each year).And right now, there really isn't an option for an investor like me to go through crowdfunding platforms like CrowdStreet as they no longer have enough volume (they only have 1-2 or so deals now, versus 20-30 in the past).

I also like the multifamily millionairre volume 1 and 2 for house hacking / commercial multifamily.

Selling in volume has a value to HD, enough so that they are willing to accept a price below retail, likely because their cost per piece is lower that way.

CrimeIndexer.com has a map of total crime volume and a map of crime density adjusted for population.

Running numbers should have you running away from deals, not ignoring the numbers to still get the deal done.You can learn a lot by listening, but you can also start to tell he does a LOT of things that no one should ever do, and makes up for it by having huge volume. 

I mean once you talk to them, it's pretty easy to spot if they know what they are talking about.I've work on STRs before and to be honest, it is not the most fun aspect of accounting because the volume of allocating income from all sources (airbnb, vrbo, stripe, direct booking, and so on) to a bunch of random expenses (cleaning, supplies, repairs, advertising, commissions, and all typical real estate expenses).I had to strictly rely on the client's input on what the expenses belong to which property or even units, if the paperwork doesn't say.
