My sewer was cast iron and needed to be replaced $$Since my project was to make significant changes to the home and lot the city told us we needed to comply with new zoning restrictions such as add sidewalk$, street side tree$, and so on.Best of luck

The most restrictive markets are often the ones with the highest concentrations of wealth.

So it must be that wholesaling is basically restricted to the single family home market of sellers who, for one reason or another, can’t sell their property on their own AND can’t be helped by a broker.  

Fewer restrictions the better.

If so, there shouldn't be any restrictions on leasing a property.

Business cards, flyers, postcards, bandit signs, any direct-mail campaign, these are some of the small expenses necessary to keep any real estate investor's business actually work.

A really good lender/loan officer can teach you and when they have more confidence in you then you'll see these perceived restrictions lifted somewhat.

I have just completed my first marketing campaign with wild success as far as receiving phone calls is concerned.My first potential deal involves receiving a call from a man who is going through a divorce.  

The offer is accepted and you find a buyer but it has a deed restriction.

First, I'm not a typical real estate agent (I only represent my own deals), and I certainly don't deal with multi-million dollar properties, so this is just an opinion...I'm guessing that much of what they portray on that show is true enough, but the important thing to remember is that they only portray the most interesting and exciting 1% of what those agents do.For example, for every $400K "snap of the fingers" commission they show, they ignore the 20 deals that don't materialize, even after the agent spends lot of time and money wooing the client and marketing the deal.I'm sure the top agents are driving $100K cars (hell, I know some very unsuccessful agents who drive $60K cars), spend their time shmoozing over expensive lunches and have ultra-rich buyers who are happy to make offers site-unseen, but this doesn't reflect the other 15 hours/day where the agents are cold calling, dealing with tire-kickers, getting fired by unreasonable sellers, and spending money on banal marketing campaigns that don't generate any leads.Just my guess...
