They had 10 mins to get out, which meant I had all of their personal belongings, which I didn't want, but I was able to charge them retail daily rental fees paid in cash up front before they could load up their stuff in two large moving trucks.

You dont' need to pay foreclosures daily for old worn out regurgitated leads, call your local realtor, they can get them for you at no cost.

Gets me out of the humdrum of my daily life.

Your goals should be written down and reviewed daily - weekly - monthly so you can stay focused!

IOW, shouldn't a multi-plex come with a "volume" discount?

I have some people how are realtor/flippers who do them for very slim spreads because they get the realtor commission too and they want to do volume.

People write me for advice daily, and I give it.

The most effective way of becoming a successful wholesaler is doing the "hard work" of getting out there and becoming involved directly with the people who are doing the deals by buying and selling properties on a daily basis.

My commission to my listing agent is not the full 3% because I do a large volume and pay a negotiated commission.But I still have to pay the buyer's agent the standard 3%.

If the Listing Agent is working with Freddie Mac, then they will be a great source of additional REO listings, because Freddie and Fannie are basically the only entities releasing any volume of REO inventory at the moment (although that may change soon), and there may be additional opportunities to purchase properties from the same Listing Agent in the future.
