This is my first post, so please forgive any mistakes or blunders I make during it.I just quit my retail job yesterday and am starting work as an independent contractor for a flooring company.

Maybe this is how business IS done in Lubbock as it's a smaller, slower pace place?

It should also be noted price per pier cost can vary different from contractor to contractor, from around $200/pier on the low end, to $600/pier on the Retail end. 

If you want to scale the business to support your family then the number one thing you have to worry about is leadgen, and so that might be the first place that you look to invest that money, whether it's direct mail to pre-foreclosures or online ads.Leadgen for wholesaling is more difficult than for retail sales so you could use your license and focus on on-market sales in the immediate future, while figuring out the off market strategy.

The buyer of the option is locking in an option on wholesale price while the seller is trying to sell at retail.

It was listed retail originally for $55k. 

For example if you read my previous post you will get the sense that lenders (wholesale and retail) and appraisers are backed up, but you have a 25 close of escrow.

That or you need to get your real estate license like I did because I got tired of dealing with retail agents.

I have yet to purchase a refrigerator, washer, and dryer for my first investment property and would like to know whether I should stick with big retailers like Lowes, or shop at local appliance stores?
