I see too many new guys spinning their wheels, doing everything they can to avoid cold calling. 

I see this a lot with SFR-people get into a home because they get told its a great idea, yet when water heater goes out it sends them into a tail spin.3rd, look at your total cost of ownership of and profit from the property.

Hello @Rod Lloyd - I'm looking at mini's now too.

Thanks Jaremy, Eddie, Michael, and Rod.

Hi Rod, Micheal...sry so late in responding, I don't get on my favorite site [i]as often as I should!

Tons of $$$ available in 2000+, hardly any money left in ~2006.The reasons the market ran and the reasons the market fell are so vast and complex it can make your head spin, but laying it entirely at the feet of realtors, I disagree with.

After two years of spinning my wheels I have finally figured out how to play the game - so i think.

Late nights,weekends,emotional buyers and sellers,erratic lifestyle,etc.I find agents don't know what they want and spin their wheels for awhile while the cash goes away.Hoe much do you have to survive on until your first closing??

@Joshua Dorkin My monitored topics aren't showing up (all but one), instead I get the spinning wheel.

IE 5 to 15k houses investors after they rehab them multiple times will finally give up.the same wholesalers who sold to Morris in the first place will end up buying them .. then the cycle repeats.some of this inventory is just functionally and economically obsolete but as long as you have companies like this spinning these tales.. newer investor just don't know what they don't know.. these are very well rehearsed sales pitches with very good objection handling techniques..
