Yeah... real estate is fundamentally different than more liquid assets (like stocks).  

So, get some fundamentals in place about what your goals and desires are...map out a plan for achieving them and go do it. 

I truly believe the reason why we succeed in this business is because we equip ourselves fundamentally first.On that note…..Enjoy the journey!

There is obviously a lot of money to be made (and possibly lost) in speculating (the Buy Low, Sell High camp), but that is a fundamentally different investor mindset from Buy and Hold. 

So, fundamentally these loans should have some equity to work with.  

Most of all, economists say, Japan's experience teaches the need to be skeptical of that fundamental myth behind all asset bubbles: that prices will keep rising forever.

I mean I get there's some level of small detail here and there about time on market/holding costs etc that play into the as much as possible but I think the point stands.Wouldn't the process look like this:Wholesaler gets property under contract (lowest price of transaction)Adds assignment fee (lower acquisition costs, more room for higher fee)Flipper/Investor/Someone buys it (at discount of "market value)They add repairs/profit (lower acquisition cost/repairs, more room for profit)Realtor markets/sells it (highest price of transaction)Collects commision from sale of property (based off sale price).I guess my confusion is what makes a wholesaler fundamentally different than an agent? 

You and I can just chat it out with a room full of hungry, question asking, real estate folk.....talk about how the underlying fundamentals of investment, capital, valuation, and flow/cycle of markets.

I’m going to use any means possible to screen tenants how I want while still being in “fundamental” compliance.

There are so many stories of people going from $100k in debt to millionaire status in this time frame simply by executing these fundamentals.
