A good trick to find a good title company is to find out what real estate brokerage is doing most of the volume in an area, then to ask a couple agents from that office what title company or companies they are primarily using.

I have started looking to buy and hold but the inventory volume on LI and the cost per unit in Ny in general is hurting scalability.I am concurrently checking multi families out of state and continue to be in talks with fellow investors on partnering up.

There are monthly, quarterly and annual costs not to mention commission splits with your broker that come with being an agent so if it will pay for itself if you're doing enough volume then yes- go for it.

If you are flipping 3 a month or more, yeah, the volume is there, and opportunity costs are much more lesser, with the 36 bids, there is a big chance a contractor can get 3 projects at worst, with 1 project, he can break even on all those walks and make profit on the other 2.

In addition, the biggest piece of advice I could provide is to ensure your wholesaling activities are highly scalable so you can produce the volume required to get consistent deals.

If you are wholesaling in this market prepare for marginal returns if you want volume.

Their margins are pretty small but they have a huge buyer's list so even if they only make a few thousand on each deal, the volume they do makes up for it. 

We've gone less when we needed to, but I don't price differently for MLS or off-market deals because of the volume of houses that we're tracking at any given time.
