I have decided to shift market as I was not finding anything that cashflow. 

This is extremely worrisome as there hasn't been anything on our end that changed, and this means that there is a shift in market conditions.

(Eastern PA) We've been noticing some trends lately and waned to see what everyone else is experiencing... It seems like 30-day closings are becoming less and less common. More issues arising with insurance, underwrit...

My point is that investing in these areas has shifted and nothing will work with the rates and prices the way they are.

Is this a blip on the radar or is the trend shifting again in your opinion? 

We'll see how the year goes, I think rates will shift it either direction.

I look for people who seem settled and want part time work and are available most of the day (maybe someone who does a night shift).

Being that competition is big, it no longer makes sense the numbers that have to be offered in order to get the deal.I’m looking in to shifting to out of state and I’m open to be on site pretty often by hopping on to a flight.I’m debating between markets in TX and Ohio but in the same time willing to hear that I’m completely off between these 2 states or that their are better.I am looking for places where population is growing, prices are not too high, landlord friendly, rent are above $1200 for 2BR, big businesses and jobs and a very big focus by me is to be in a safe area.I would appreciate if I can get some honest opinions on this.

When I went to replace a shift manager that I caught stealing, I got guff from my business partner when I brought up John as a replacement.

Now, I'm not saying this is smart by any means, but since the market has shifted to a wholesaler's market then it would be in your best interest to either increase your offer amount so you lock down more deals or significantly increase assignment fee for higher spreads.
