If the tool has merit, then build it for yourself, and it will pay for itself on that basis alone.If it will not pay for itself (& time counts as a cost) when the only customer is yourself, it's probably been done a thousand times, and/or isn't as useful as you think. 

That line is been stated and promoted literally thousands upon millions of times.     

@Alec Barnes one of the problems with communication is the different expectations.Agents and consumers all think PMCs should be available 24/7.NOT POSSIBLE for the relatively small monthly fees owners pay PMCs versus the thousands of dollars of commissions agents get per transaction.So, while agents may answer their phones 24/7, most PMCs do not.

In the Phoenix market, I haven’t encountered a wholesale deal in the past year that I would consider a good opportunity, despite reviewing hundreds—well over a thousand, in fact.

A bad borrower can ruin even a good deal.

@Andrew Syrios Tulum  ruins of course and if you can make it Akumal to see the giant turtles eat under the sea!!

They put 100k here plus here and there over dozens of deals and hope the portfolio average stays positive over time.I know I deal with very wealthy people on a daily basis and have talked to thousands of millionaires over the phone through the decades.

Hey Corey -Three things I’d like to highlight are:1) Most lenders will have a leverage cap on doing a portfolio loan versus doing a single asset, so definitely ask the lender(s) that you’re speaking to about this. 2) Be mindful that a portfolio loan will save a decent chunk of change (thousands of dollars) on closing costs, so that can make it worth it. 3) Lenders will also have partial release clauses for paying off individual properties in the portfolio.

Even worse, most properties here are trashed and being sold at the ARV and are still being bought thousands over asking.
