The problem is the National Association or Realtors are pushing the issue as they are "losing" money to wholesalers when they normally don't go after the same types of properties.

Yes ma’am I use the bandit signs and etc the normal marketing a wholesaler does I have closed many deals praise the most high....

And conservative people normal do 10% maintenance, 10% cap.

My capex budget includes but not limited to: roof 25 year life span, floors normally 10 years but tile will be 20 or 25 years, appliances and hot water heater 12 years, hvac 20 years, bath and kitchen remodel 20 years, etc.

NRT Title is who I normally use.

So far so good in New Mexico.most people drive here so bookings have been pretty normal for this time of year.

They will provide a guaranteed personal response 24/7 for urgent matters (water leaks, electrical, etc) and 24 hours personal response for normal repairs.

This is normally what I suggest to people looking to get into the game. 

true-  most lenders increased  rates .25% - .50% in past  3  days   in reaction to being at over capacity ....prob  will take  2-3 months to get back to normal  marketplace

For me the biggest one, and the one that kept my wife and I from selling my business for years to go full-time into real estate, was making sure we didn't chase deals with more risk than we normally would have.
