There are so many elements to what we do that a new person would have no clue whats going on.

If you do rehab of your own buildings or properties you know what things will cost.Being an investor and a commercial broker helps me analyze a deal for a client on a deeper level versus just a broker that has no clue about investing or what things cost.With experience you will learn.You can pretty much walk in and say 10 light switches at 78 cents if you install yourself,1.40 if you use a handyman,or 2.00 if you use a licensed professional.This is just an example and not what these items would cost.You always estimate on the high side with a contingency based on actual costs to what your knowledge of things cost.This way if you come in lower the returns are above your goals.If you come in as expected no loss.If you base buying on low estimates and go over then your returns are now diminished.You never talk yourself into a marginal deal.If you want to be respected as a wholesaler you need to know costs.If you send out a bunch of junk deals to serious buyers they will think you are a flake and cut you off.

I don't have try to convince anyone realtors are to blame for the housing mess when half the realtors in this country would be out of business if it weren't for Reo's being thrown at them and now short sales which most of them have no clue how to execute a short sale.they're not getting the 7-8% listing commission anymore, and more people who are not in distress who want to sale are opting to to sale without realtors.

Most agents don't have a clue as to what goes on in an operating RE brokerage or why, IMO.

My sci calculator says 2 my fathers says 288 Excel says this another program says that.I've come to the conclusion I HAVE NO #$@@#$ CLUE ANYMORE.

Anyone who is Knowledgeable in wholesaling and has a clue what I'm asking feel free to answer the original question I may Re post with proper wording and title Wholesalers only.

A forensic accountant could do it, probably with some specific training and more study, but they would be very expensive....not likely, IMO.I would guess that 90 out of 100 PIs (investigators that do divorce stuff, survellence, photo snappers and such) would not have a clue.

Hint: More than one house with that yellow "crime scene" ribbon surrounding it is a good clue to turn around and leave that area.

I have no clue what effects the appraisal on a 4plex (i know i should have figured this out before buying and fixing the property...but i learn from my mistakes).
