In a hot market, it's easier to sell than to buyer; therefore in a hot market, you're making most of your money when you sell.Again, I don't have direct experience with this, but given how many people seemed to be making lots of money prior to the recession (especially if you believe all those TV flip shows :), it seems like making money in an up-trending market is probably as easy (if not easier) than in a bad market.Btw, I would guess that making money in a stagnant market is the toughest...which is why I have a feeling a lot of new rehabbers are having trouble breaking into the business -- the past year has seen a very stagnant market in most areas of the country from what I can tell.

And when I say that, I say that with 12 years of marketing experience utilizing almost everything there is, SEO, PPC, Call centers, mailers, email marketing, radio/ TV ads, etc.

It's not like the general public where you post an ad on TV and hope it hits a particular demographic.

I use the kwikset smartkey locks so i can give contractors keys, then change it again anytime at my leisure, match security door to front door, etc.

They also do radio and TV ads (researched and purchased through their own ad agency), which are something an individual investor just can't do.
