"How in God's name do they plan on making a profit" would come out of my mouth all the time.

“Notes” are such a BIG field, that I’ve found it more efficient, effective and profitable to target specific “arena” of notes at different times in different economic environments.  

My guess is that it won’t actually take you a lot more time, just the extra fees, but those should be accounted for in your profit calculations 

While you might lean towards long-term tenants for stability, short-term rental platforms like Airbnb can yield higher profits if the building allows it.When you get to Miami, I’d recommend visiting a few meetups hosted by South Florida REIA.

All in all, everything I analyze from wholesalers, independent and large, are only giving about a $20,000 profit.

That one was hard cost of 4200.00 and sold for 12500.00 profit of 7300.00.

As is, it looks like the duplex would lose about 10k a year while the fourplex profit about 1k per year...that said Jersey City heights (duplex) is not rent controlled and would appreciate more than downtown Union City.

Delays like this—especially in probate—impact our timelines and profitability.

I found a killer deal, put 1k down as EMD and then wholesaled it for a nice profit. 

Quote from @Evan Polaski: @Jay Hinrichs, while I wasn't going to call them MLM, I did attend an Armando Montelongo (A&E's Flip this House from mid 2000's) seminar at a hotel conference room in 2007 or 08, which was the free funnel to spend $1,500 for a three day seminar or $25,000 for an in-person mentorship.I have seen similar promoted with Christina and Tarrek from Flip or Flop more recently.I didn't start realizing how profitable education can be until the last 5 or so years.
