It was a stressful and time intensive process for them and I vowed never to do real estate.

- This is the part of the pitch you are probably going to lose people as soon as you do you need to use a push/pull pattern:Low Intensity Push Pull Pattern:- Guys there is a real possibility that we aren't right for each other (then pause) but then again if this did work out our forces could combine to become something great.

Third party management done right is just plain labor intensive.

The company quoted 2 days of intensive training for $14K.

Look at East Russell too, the amount of new and re-development happening there is intense.

Beware though this is very battery intensive on our phone and will pretty much suck it dry from 100%. 

The people who you want to be your mentor try to avoid such situations, because it is so time intensive and unprofitable.e) People who say they are 'professional wholesalers' should, as a rule, be asked how many properties they own.

It's a fairly time-intensive process to individually vet the listings (I doubt 10+ acre tracts come up for sale all that often), so if you're tech savvy you may want to set up a way to "crawl" the listings for selected keywords, assuming they are online.

@David McCready   The reality of going out of state and finding properties before they hit the market is a tough one.. there is intense competition for wholesale deals in the markets that are popular with TK providers...

I do have a question as to what other types of properties (besides vacant/distressed houses) that can be wholesaled.For instance, if I find a house that is FSBO, and requires no fix-ups or intense rehab, in a good middle-class neighborhood and the owner is willing to negotiate the price down from, hypothetically, $150,000, would I be able to wholesale that house to a buyer or company that wants rental property?
