It can't be understated how important it is to know how much homes are selling for retail in your market because this will dictate what you can sell your wholesale deal for.Great post, Lakeem and thanks for sharing

Either way YOU dictate how you will be compensated. 3% as a realtor and whatever wholesale fee you want as a wholesaler.  

If I understand correctly, housing laws dictate that 2 persons can occupy each bedroom.

I usually go Conventional 20% down first, but some markets dictate going FHA.I have seen huge discrepancies with appraisals so I don't want to get stuck with one that comes in low like on another property where two appraisals were done, one was at 200,000 and the other was 242,000.

The current rental market dictates the price.

Some people have money but weird situations that dictate owner finance is needed.

If they do, they aren't in compliance, APR is dictate under the TILA so they all need to be on the same page.

Start reading and asking questions or answering questions as your experience dictates on the forums and get involved.As to how to get started, learn your market and figure out what is a good deal and what is not.

I don't like brokers who dictate fees, especially high ones.

That answer will dictate your answer.
