Hello everyone,I just wanted to introduce myself as a new member from Madison, WI.I've been a Realtor for about two and a half years, and I'm very interested in expanding my focus to the investment side of the industry, particularly flipping, and rental properties. 

In reality, most things on the MLS come in close to retail - even in a trashed state - because, well, people are buying them.Your best course of action in many areas now is private marketing where you can maybe catch someone at the front end of a distressed situation that wants to get out NOW, and you can likely negotiate closer to 56-70% of After-Repair-Value (ARV).

They are key to keeping legislators up to date on things that impact our industry and are protecting our interests.

Many do not have that luxury which is why there is a high failure rate for the industry.

For the last 18 years and until very recently, I was working for a national retailer. 

I'm very new myself and learning a ton and getting to know people in the industry.

This is what I am encountering, in the current Mortgage Industry.
