Secondly, I wouldn't get too bogged down with the volume of the "cash buyers."

It is not my intention to enter this business for maximum deal volume.

I had a seller site when I did high volume and did a lot of owner financing. 

As an investor/flipper, this was awesome news, because I am not going to be a high volume salesperson, and will therefore not ever get over the 40-50% split hump.If you are truly looking for a new career, and want to learn all you can, go with the company that can teach you the most.

Easiest way (especially with volume): letters (or postcards)Most effective: door knocking

I imagine it will be all over the place, but what you'll see is a big difference between those doing deals for a couple of years and in volume and those entering this market and who have knocked down say, less than ten deals.Knowing what these averages are, hopefully across the country, we might help others interested in getting into SS to tie up with a larger producer.....then again, they may decide to do something else with their time.Let's just look at the average profit in the average period of time.

Instead they focus on the listing side for volume.

Get the price of one install, then ask for a 'volume discount'.

So as long as they are calculated correctly and appropriate for the transaction, I would not get heartburn over those. 

I'm more of a volume guy, but others may disagree and may want to go at it one at a time.
