These installers are notoriously low-skilled.

Wholesalers are notorious for not presenting accurate numbers, which is why they cant ever get a deal done.

are you factoring all of the other costs of operation i.E. vacancy, utility, Cap Ex, property management costs(I've heard that Rochester is notorious for poor performing property managers)Routine maintenance etc.... 

In TN, if the activity was "open and notorious" such as building a home over the parcel line, and it was done for 7 years or more (in TN), then the owner of the land previously now has no legal claim to it.

My logic is that if either of us HAVE to work, I'd much be rather it be me working real estate where I have much control vs her working the business where we're dependant on contractors, clients and the market which are all notoriously unreliable, very stressful and very time consuming. 

Be weary of news articles and 'rankings,' as these notoriously steer investors wrong.

Some sellers may not want or be able to (due to moving, buying another property, etc.) wait that long.An FHA inspection is notorious for being stricter about the condition of the home than conventional. when I sold my primary home to an FHA buyer a few years ago, I had to fix a small section of rotting wood in the frame of the garage door at a cost of several hundred dollars- because you can't just fix a few inches, you have to replace the whole side!

Greetings all, my name is Chris, I live in the notorious state of MI, currently moving from the Flint area (flushing twp to be exact) to Gaylord... which is 150 miles north and rests upon the half way point to the North Pole.  

After you learn the business you should take the wholesale deals when they come - but wholesaling is a very simple concept that can get very complicated real quick (complications are notorious for killing deals).
