A young population plus a growing industry makes for good long term investments, but unless you are really scaling the cashflow can be hit or miss. 

@Chris Morris have ALWAYS seen bad "deals" from rookie wholesalers that really don't understand what they are doing to provide value to the industry.It's getting worse because the real estate market has recovered from the 2010 Crash, yet many are still using tactics & methods developed during this time.Everyone in the industry needs to go back and look at what was being done BEFORE 2010 and start using those methods, updating them with current technology.

It's a relationship game more than anything, so if you're building strong relationships with them and providing a consistent product, you'll be golden.

Consistent action is the name of the game when it comes to achieving success. 

Industry professionals are biased towards what makes them the most money, understandably, because why else are they in this business but to make money? 

You're way ahead of the game! 

The further you get into the deal the more skin in the game you end up having so it just makes sure you see the project through so you recoup the time and cash invested. 

That's why I'm asking for more opinions from people who have been in the game longer. 

Yet it's all a zero sum game, so think about it from winners & losers.

I'm starting to realize that investing is something I want to consider learning for long term as I spend more time in this industry.
