@Andrew MartherusNo matter what market you're in, whether it's Tempe, Phoenix, Sacramento or anywhere else, all that matter is how your deal compares to the averages for the area.The 1-2% is the bane most beginners on here lol, because it works in one market and people try to expand it to apply nationwide.

(In the Phoenix area, we make $25k-60k *and* our buyer/investor makes even MORE $ after they do the work.)I've asked them why they don't do what I do and cut me out of the deal and they always say either "data is not my thing & I don't want to learn what you do" or "I really like our arrangment and want to do the creative/reno part".We have built some great relationships and are expanding this to multiple cities...
