If you have a truly superior and/or unique product it will be easier to not have to compete with price. 

@Paul Moore and others have done a great job taking fees down in the product.  

The majority of the business I do is buying small multi families and identifying the towns that are more favorable for investing. 

The majority have evictions on their record, don't make enough income or have a lot of debt under their name.Comparing other rentals on Zillow, my asking rent is $1100 while other properties are trying to rent at $1200.

Personally I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to wholesale a relatives $1M home knowing that I am breaking the law if I cross over into doing anything that can be considered representing them in the transaction, and knowing it will only be marketed to people who buy properties wholesale (typically investors who don't want to pay retail prices), instead of the majority of retail buyers active in the market who are typcially willing to pay more. 

She's a beast and you'll likely get approved which will give you a revolving source of funds to keep growing Griffin what terms are you seeing on products like this? 

I am a general business major and also currently working on obtaining my real estate license to become an agent.

I think that strategy works best in higher areas or mid term rentals near major employers.  

Your a licensed R.E. agent, that is NOT a solo thing, it means your an extension of that broker, and anything you do in Real Estate has possible MAJOR implications from both the broker and or real estate regulatory boards. 

If it is a high end housing product you may have to use a designer because they have access to some material/finish suppliers that are otherwise unavailable but that tends to only be for the highest end housing deliveries.
