I have a Masters in Analytics from the University of South Florida and a true-born Tampa native.

The reality is that the new generation of native-born Americans don't want to build houses, they all want cushy high-paid jobs in tech or finance etc. or to get rich quick off of crypto or being a youtuber or running internet businesses, etc. very few of them want to work in the trades. 

Problem is mate nobody is willing to make that sacrifice.That's why we have a job lolI moved from Australia to the US in 2012 to follow my real estate dreams.Folks have been born and bread here and still many don't want to do the work and would rather complain and blame me for any issues that occur from a turnkey investment standpoint ehhh 🤷‍♂️

I am a local Cleveland agent (born & raised) & work with one of the top PM's here.

My wife was born and raised in Malaysia.

Most were born into this and didn’t know any other way.

But since my youngest was born it all changed.

If or when you have kids treat them as a savings plan even if an infant.  

Born & raised in CA.   

Yes, I still believe a lot of brokers and REAs who are hostile to wholesaling industry are motivated by jealousy and resentment born out of the fact that they had to invest so much time and efforts to get licensed in RE, while wholesaler can get into assigning contracts and earning his average $10K per deal without any entry barriers, overwhelming regulations, caps on commissions and jumping through hoops that they had to in order to serve end buyers and sellers with fiduciary duty to parties they serve in retail market and public.
