True, it might be more time and skill intensive, but what if the effort and time from one commercial deal was equivalent to say, 2 residential deals but the commission was equivalent to that of 5 residential deals?

I've been working and investing in the GTA Real Estate market for more than 15 years, and finding distressed properties is very difficult (not impossible, but very, very time intensive).Power of sale properties are not often bought a much lower prices than non-power of sale properties, since the lenders usually put them on MLS, or list them publicly, since they have a legal obligation to get as much as possible for them.Happy to chat more about GTA Real Estate any time.

@Gerrell King the wholesale market seems to be pretty time and capital intensive right now due to all the competition.  

If you buy a C class building in the bay area it will be small because you're spending 200k + a door SMALL BUILDINGS with value add plays ARE HIGH TOUCH & MANAGEMENT INTENSIVE, so if you don't live nearby it's going to be more of a challenge. 

People get overwhelmed, especially if there is a probate or other paperwork-intensive issue with the property.

I definitely seek higher comp on rehab and hard money loans due to their volatile and labor-intensive nature.The program doesn't appear to be available in GA anyway, just adding my 2 cents.

honestly, this job/career sounds so Intense and difficult, i am happy the market is doing well though, thats a positive. 

As far as "minimal investment returns", that is relative to the exit strategy on a NPL so what does not work from the "intensive analysis by highly trained MBAs", may work for the individual small balance investor who knows how to repurpose an asset for profit.

The Know Your Customer (KYC) process will be pretty intense.

You also don' have all the intense house keeping of a corp etc. that's the benefit of them.
