A lot of accountants who do a large volume of simpler returns at lower prices get too busy to give any customers care and advice.

If you don't have a mortgage, then lenders will not have much heartburn, but as second lien, if you default, the primary lender can take the property and it is much less likely the other liens get paid back.

You will not get many good deals there as an investor.Since you are new and not high volume you might have to pay extra for a real estate agent to help you. 

Choose a skip tracing company that has options that meet your specific needs and do no have high volume minimums.

How much volume are you doing that you can guarantee full employment year round?

Ryan's example and countless others is why I mainly only take commercial listings.I have a few buyers I work closely with on the commercial side.Investors want to guarantee they get the deal and I want the commission check.Being listed if 10 offers come in and one is selected and closes I get paid.If the buyer has an agent they get paid.The other 9 get to start the process all over again with no money in the pocket.This why I mainly list and market commercial properties instead of running all over creation with buyers.Now if a buyer is honest,buys volume,and wants a deal (but is realistic and not looking for the steal of the century) then they may be worth working with.Whether you are a seasoned investor or a broker/agent who has been in the game for awhile you value maximum returns based on TIME and MONEY.You put in effort to learn how to decrease energy and time in and increase returns.I think it depends also on commercial and residential.I see the mindset of many investors with buying houses that they want agents to work 24/7.I understand because many might work full time jobs and that's the only time they have to do something.On the commercial side I find the mindset is totally different.Business hours and most don't expect to call you after 6 and not usually on the weekends.If a broker/agent works residential then they should expect the hours to be crazy because of the variables involved.

they will tell you what they need in terms of job history and income.wholesaling is high effort - it takes volume to find compelling deals. 

Not huge numbers but you can do volume.
