man this is the best direct-honest-unbiased-transparent I ever heard of. it is like i said before, the local broker that has better cost efficiency and/or tech-driven brokerage would rise in popularity and the slow and decaying process of traditional brokerage. typical agent make 50k, there're more realtor than home to sell with different cost from each brokerage ; seller/buyer not just want lesser commision but they want bigger pie when selling like you said. 

I don't mean this in plugging in that rents will grow 10% year over year forever, but in some markets, is 5% somewhat reasonable, even though it is more aggressive than 3%?  

What cities/destinations are growing, getting visitors and not already saturated? 

Another way to think about it is that I bet the worst deals ever done were modeled in a perfectly working model.

Can't wait to see you grow.

Macomb has been a great market for us and we have it locked down with solid off-market opportunities, but we have a growing team and would like to expand.

I am looking to get connected with people in the area who could potentially take through some growing areas and areas of opportunity in the city.

Seen wholesalers have to liquidate deals occasionally when the flip becomes too much, how do you deal with this?
