Now, it's all grown up with fancy restaurants and trendy music festivals and pricey tourist traps.  

Wholesalers seem to be popping up like wild mushrooms all over the place now, what a trendy business, most of them are operating illegally or simply have no clue what they are doing, this is not a blanket statement, there are a small handful that actually are doing it the right way, but this is a very small fraction in regards to the overall "wholesaler" population.

I called a few other office complexes and thier advertised sqft was rentable, I had to ask for the usable sqft.

Advertising is data on the opposite demand front and data visualization is simply a form of compressed data (efficiency of learning).

Hey BP Community,My name is David, and I'm completely new to Real Estate Investing.I recently left my Corporate Job in online advertising for other pursuits.

I find that there is a little competition in advertising but whoever gets the call first pretty much got the deal if the seller is truly motivated.

Be careful of calculators that factor only advertised short term rental rates without including actual booked rates. 

I'll base this assuming you know nothing about real estate, and you can cross out anyone who has a similar skillset to you, or you are able/willing to do their work.ACQUISITION TEAM/NETWORK - Wholesellers, Realtors, local networking groups, mail/email/advertising campaigns, however it is that you get properties.CONTRACTOR - Find a good GC with solid subs. 

If you do lots of advertising you can always talk about both sides that will help a seller, and a buyer.  

This isn't an advertisement for realtors - most know very little.
