A better solution, in my opinion, is not to rely on wholesalers,  as not only is it a dying breed due to the sheer incompetence they exhibit due to gurus' wrong instructions and teachings, but, wouldn't it be better to generate your own leads through a high performing website?

I like smaller companies whose owners are not brand new but not old and burned out either.

Or has it performed as advertised?

Just like when evaluating a potential purchase you should be performing the same due diligence with rents.

You can get away with using 5% for Class A tenants, but we use 10% for Class B and lower. 3) Tenant Payment Performance: you didn't mention this, but it is important!

Couche-Tard’s Circle K and other brands account for 4.6%.

We also work with investors in the different markets we operate in to perform tenant placement where we work with ALE Solutions, other relocation companies, medical agencies, etc. to offer properties as a part of our inventory.

We've gotten that advice from an old timer in the trades, but Chicago is notoriously know for lagging with issuing permits and performing inspections.  

Let's say you are a brand new investor.

I assume in the winter months they would perform well, but in the spring/summer/fall (non ski months) how do they perform?
