One key I'm finding is volume of deals.  

Have been reading for HOURS...and simply overwhelmed by the shear volume of AMAZING informationA bit about myself, I'm a physician and absolutely blessed to be able to do what I do.  

@Jon Klaus  I just made a clarifying post.however its regional in my mind.. in the PDX market we are flat fee based.. from as low as 7k if your doing volume 20 to 30 homes a year in production housing.. to 25k or more if you building customs.I average on my 350 to 450k builds 12 to 15k flat fee.. all other subs at cost ... and for insurance purposes we can't pay the subs direct we want that insurance on the GC.. but we are a signer on the GC account that is opened just for that build job.. our draws come into our account then we transfer the funds to the GC account.. and the GC pays subs.. but we get to see each and every invoice and check that goes out...

I recently bought a brand new business class Brother LED laser printer with print duty cycle listed as 2500/day, because my 2 year old generic Samsung laser printer overheated and died very quickly after attempting to print a large volume of letters at once....The reason i ask is because since buying the printer, i have started noticing that many of the big names on youtube have inkjet printers in the background and just feel like i'm going about it the wrong way for self printing. 

So I am new at all of this too.Your next step will be to decide how you are going to find deals. some different options are direct mail (which is what I decided to do), driving for dollars, which is driving around neighborhoods in your target market and looking for unkept, overgrown, run down properties that you can contact the owners to see if they will consider selling, or bandit signs which you would place around busy intersections or areas with a high volume of traffic that it will be seen.

Realty Shares has bragging rights with one of the largest volume of new investments in the industry (19 during our 30 day monitoring period, versus the average of 1).

The bank has less volume to manage and the employees that manage them have less casework but keeping properties longer can make it appear they are "working" more. 

Look for ways to get discounts on the volume of your business -insurance, commercial rates on suppliers such as carpet and appliances.  

How is foreclosure volume in Houston?

With no way to secure deal flow except through wholesalers, who will give first look for their deals to their established, proven, high volume rehabbers upon whom they rely for their livelihood5.
