Wholesalers tend to have less risk because they hold the properties for less time and are selling to like minded fixer upper people.

For this reason, I have set my sights on multi family and storage facilities - as when there are market corrections, people tend to downsize their living quarters and relocate to Apartments, and have an abundance of excess "stuff" that can't be sold as quickly in a depressed market.

I don't mind if the LA gets both sides if I get my price/terms.My first offers tend to get countered less often as a result.

Traditional money tends to look at fact, not projection.

While those prices can be reduced and/or increased, they tend to stay stable for much longer periods - sometimes the duration of the listing until it is rented.

Hello BP community, I have been doing marketing recently to target property owners that are interested in selling real estate, I tend to be running into quite a few upside down mortgages and short sale pre - foreclosure options.

This tends to diminish what you do today and thus make it difficult to find joy in your work. 

In Las Vegas, condos tend to compete with apartments.

Most investors tend to present how great the returns on their deal.

@Elizabeth ColegroveHopefully you have some time to answer this question, as you seem very knowledgeable in the VA side of things.Occupancy requirements say that you must "intend" to live in the residence and I couldn't find a specified amount of time on an "official" site or document although people tend to assume it's 12 months.
