China, Vietnam and Thailand all had an abundance of gigantic manufacturing plants.

Reputations are formed quickly and as a new wholesaler you are going to be off on a couple of deals anyways.

i do not currently know of any reputable lenders that are doing HELOCS on NOO (non-owner occupied) properties. do you or your bro currently claim this home as your residence (or 2nd home)?

Look for cities that have a regional influence in medical, education, government and medium and large manufacturing entities.

I appreciate the idea of high inflation, but I do not buy for a second that the US has no manufacturing base.

The BPO from a reputable broker may be the next best price for you.

Once you figure out what you're doing, reputation is everything!

After the great depression the US still had manufacturing, steel, the auto industry, etc.
