I want to dominate my sub-market, but you gotta be sure its big enough for you to eat too!

I ask this because I know there are some large scale wholesale brokerages in the area that dominate the market.

It is also possible for a corporation to own an LLC, so these numbers are a clear indication of who truly owns these properties.https://www.hud.gov/press/pres...Every industry in America is getting dominated by large companies and will more so as time progresses.

You also see evidence in that everyone knew/knows it would be short/medium term by looking at the training of the baristas-turned-loan-originators that now dominate the call center places, in many cases they weren't even taught how to read a purchase contract (ask your Realtor, they can attest to this :), the idea (implicitly) being that this batch of new LOs is just going to be fired once rates go up, they're just being hired for refis, no reason to teach them how to read a purchase contract or that deadlines matter.

Property was very well priced when i bought there in 2000 and with the exchange rate great deals but since then its just exploded and there are a few very big landlords there that own / dominate the rental property market and own 100s of million if not billion in rentals.  

I'm a digital marketer and investor that has helped several agents dominate their markets and then grow to have their own brokerage.A few things I noticed between the successful and unsuccessful brokers are:The successful brokers found a niche whether by location, housing type, or by client type (i.e. they only work with investors like those on BP; really the best niche because investors don't usually need hand holding and we don't care what a place looks like.)They work with agents that also pick a niche.

I was just in a big East coast city last week were I would say on price points under about 100k that wholesalers dominate the transactions  Now my program allows said wholesaler to close on the house and not flip the contract so they can maximize their return since its so competitive in these markets. 

I would always list on both but if I was only going to list on one I would at least start with both to see which one dominates in my market.
