Books, articles, blogs, whatever materials you caught this bug from are no longer applicable, if someone says you, as an individual without having a broker's license can "wholesale" mortgage notes is just blowing smoke in your ear.

If you are going for appreciation/gambling, then open any real estate article and they will tell you the highest appreciation that happened in the previous quarters.

@Jason CarterGreat article!

The statistical cause of the higher numbers cited in magazine articles is caused by the disproportionate number of new homes always sold in a market where it's so easy to slap down another one.
