I would say that my investment into subto was well worth it because it is literally the best real estate community out there and I would not be in the middle of buying my first business (Dry Cleaners in Philly) or apart of an amazing 5 man mastermind if it wasn't for Subto.

newbie here so please be patient with me :) my business partner and i have been working with a real estate agent who's cdpe cetified and have found some good properties for us. we have been looking for about a month and a half and haven't gotten a property to work on. we have found some potentials and have put in a couple offers at asking price. with those offers, we have gotten beaten out due to owner occupants or other investors who bid a lot higher than asking price. we are looking to make about 15k-20k per property and sticking to that because anything under 15k isn't worth it to us, we would rather wait for a better potential which is possible in my market since we put in 2 offers that would have made at least 15k. we like to have guidelines for purchasing our properties and stick to a game plan. with that being said, do we need to adjust or re-strategize our game plan with this dry/competitive market right now?

Nothing against Texas and there is great investment there but I can't stand that hot dry heat.
