So far most wholesale professionals have managed to operate without government interference, but the professional wholesalers who operate ethically are forever being tainted by those that are misled by the gurus selling programs that end up with consumer complaints and Attorney General actions.As a practical matter, the major successful players in the wholesaling field operate one of two ways.  

Single-family homes with no hoa, even in c/d class neighborhoods, start in the low 300's. 

Eventually after working in the market awhile you should be able to identify your most valuable team players that are going to provide you accurate and crucial information.

If you go through the courts you have to read the CD (Conditional dismissal) and if you have a lawyer representing you they need to work with the tenants lawyer on the CD language. 

working at the title company, you see all the major players.

Seems all the big player are either too high or just don't offer good services 

The 80/20 law applies very clearly here, as there are often a small number of players who own most of the properties in any given market or sub-market.My best advice would be to surround yourself with others who have invested in multifamily or at least have experience working with commercial brokers, and absorb as much knowledge as you can.

Now Eastpointe is the opposite: a run-down community with C-D properties.

If you have a chance I highly recommend you attend at least once, and up to 3-5 times so you can figure out how it works (and who the key players are).
