Meaning volume matters more early on, along with a timely exit strategy.Pittsburgh is an awesome market to be in.

Use a quality, high volume submersible pump for the basin.

It's also very often negotiable, especially if you exchange at volume or with larger properties. 

@Marissa Slade If you are solely focused on appreciation, as you said, I would look more at the suburbs that have low rental property volume and are in demand for owner occupiers.

Tapping volume vs per transaction fee's.

And the real volume is conducted by wealthy investors who have the option to build marketing machines and flip, hold, or wholesale deal flow at scale.

@Sean Haley - There are volumes of books and other information out there about seller financing. 

I'd use USPS Bulk Mail Services - they offer lower rates than first-class mail for sending large volumes.

Information fills in where there might be gaps in the knowledge, or connects one set of knowledge to others.Too often, due to my first paragraph, we find too many thinking that if they collect enough "quick" info, by shear volume, they have gained knowledge. 

I am more selective on deals I syndicate and more about quality than doing volume.
