The current guy I use is all over the place with his pricing and charges vastly different amounts for the same type of jobs.

The vast majority of the crime that you are referring to is confined to 2 apartment complexes on the corners of 38th and Post and 42nd Post which gives the entire area the reputation that it has.

I guess the changes made by a flipper and landlord are usually vastly different?

Family friend or not, the vast majority of agents only know what retail buyers want, they wouldn't know a good investment if it fell in their lap.

A few that come to mind: Correctly zones areas in Hawaii, areas of TN, and the vast number of condos along the Gulf of Mexico.

The vast majority of wholesalers are not licensed, and as such the field tends to have a stigma attached to it.

I've looked through your website GetCompound.com extensively, it looks like your team is well connected and has access to a vast information pool, How is this access setting Compound apart from your competitors?

I've been reading many of the posts here and they are super helpful, though the vast majority are from the owner/investors's perspective.I am interested in a building a STR multi property business. 

The ones with vast networks and properties though have their internal buyers list and tend to go to them first.  

But I dont think thats going to be the vast majority of their employees by any means.I expect a lot of their employees are going to be in the $80-300k salary range, so thats going to largely put them in the $400-$1 million property range.
