Sales are heavily slanted to the favor of the seller?

Ok BP, seeing that the LA market or So.Cal for that matter is heavily saturated with wholesalers, bir dogs, and others.

Home has a wood burning fireplace that I plan to use heavily in winter/fall. 

I rely on my income to fund my purchses and find financial advantages in the properties as well as my business.Consider taking some time to think heavily about your business objectives.

I am a beginner investor and I am in the process of heavily marketing for motivated sellers.

PM company generally pays a fixed subscription fee to post on rental websites so cost isn't a factor and it's paid regardless.If there are multiple applicants from MLS and 3rd party sites, it's hard for me to believe that a PM company can be unbiased during the showing/screening process when their net profit heavily depends on which tenant is ultimately selected.

It sounds like that wasn't a problem for you.May I ask if you were relying heavily on the rents to qualify?

Jeff Burdick chicago is getting heavily gentrified lol.....they are having more and more people in the city move to the burbs or to Indiana.

@Michael Kirstein That might be tough...We charge the one month's rent; but it gets posted on the MLS, and marketed heavily, and 1/2 of that one month's rent, we generally pay to some out side agent that brings you a tenant.

@Omar Merced @jeffkeller i will be becoming an agent full time as my sole job but will be focusing heavily on investments. i started wholesaling marketing in january no deals but got call backs, im looking to purchase an mfu this year and save up enough for a down payment with an HML for a flip early next year. i meant to say im looking to finish the year off with the same amount i made last. this year ive made 15k so far so i only need 35k to go. based off my basic math and average home price of 220k and 50/50 split im assuming i need to sell 8 to 12 homes by years end to make that difference. my previous work experience of being self managed and confidence leads me to believe this is easily possible especially with better flips.
