As a broker in a wholesale market, I "buy" a loan from a lender at a discount and mark it up for my profit.

Quote from @Kody Smith: I am New-ish to Bigger Pockets, and would love to connect with the community here.The idea: move from single family homes into commercial real estate... specifically multi family.The Goal: generate $20k/mo in cash flowI'm currently in silicon valley (san jose)... would love to find something profitable here, but it looks like there are better opportunities elsewhere.I am open to investing in markets across the US.

So, in reality every month your moving close and closer to sucking out months/years of profits via items aging out, cap-x coming to bear. 

The people who never ran properties in B or C area always scream about how bad idea it is but you can make an incredibly profitable listing in those if you know how to manage it.

You track all of your expenses the same way irrespective of profitability. 

In southern Florida I fund and profit / loss is 50/50.

Ultimately, a “win-win” keeps your tenant profitable while ensuring you’re not underpricing your asset.As for notice periods, definitely check your local regs, from what I’ve heard.

Until i ran into it all, faced it, worked through it and got good at turning problems into profits. 

The ability to find a good sales price under $200K with low taxes and affordable insurance is getting harder to find but in Oh & IN its still easy.Inventory is strong and the rents are above normal so even though your under $200K you can still earn a good profit.

I just don;t have the energy to pursue litigation.
