@Tony Link Looks like I missed the Amarillo RE Investors meeting last night.

For such a small area having 6 listings currently active is pretty decent. 8 multi units have sold in the last 6 months there so investors ARE picking up properties that need work and successfully turning them around.

First, go the Commercial Appeal Obituaries page and jot down all the names from last week.

Currently closing one unit every 2-3 months, but it's slowed down quite a bit the last few months.

In Orlando, which is close to you, I just checked and there are 777 cash buyers who have bought 2 or more properties in the last 4 months.

I've been inhaling the BP podcasts over the last 9 months or so, I have about 30 more to go before I'm fully caught up.

Unfortunately, the big bank I was dealing with waited until the last minute to give push back, so I would need someone that is quick.

I know its treated me well all these years and has led me to some pretty incredible financial adventures that wholesaling simply could not do.But if I lived in some of the rust belt markets or other markets were there are literally more homes than people to put in them. .I equate that as nothing more than being a used car salesmen.. price points are the same. style is the same.. once your done your done.Where real estate gets good is 10 to 15 years into it ALL of your business should come from referrals.. this simply will not happen in wholesaling.. wholesaling your just as good as the last sucker you talked into selling their house to you undermarket  :)

Then figure out if the area is growing or not in the last 5-10 years.

I'm located in the NYC market which has many screw up stories and I happen to make my share in the last 4 years.Here is my recent mistake and hope we could keep this trend going so we could learn not only the good but the bad experience as well.I was rehabbing my flip property with my crew.
