@Karl Washington First problem…..if you’re trying to wholesale off the mls, you’re fishing in the wrong pond.

All other fish see that delicious juicy shrimp on that hook and swim right by.

Obviously, no one knows for sure, but to help you understand the issues and variables impacting the real estate investing environment in 2023, I put together a 2023 State of Real Estate Investing. 

If you can solve the seller's problem situation - you can make money - (I do not mean to take advantage of others - we make money by solving real estate problems) I take my time with the sellers, talk about all their issues related to the property - look at all the facts to see how to approach the offer - make an offer or a proposal that will satisfy the seller's needs as well as our cash flow or equity needs.it is important to build a rapport with the seller - talk about things that interest him, retirement, fishing, hunting ----- forget real estate for awhile - and try to communicate on a personal level with the seller - sellers like to do business with folks they understand and like - be likable!

I love to hunt, fish, mountain bike, grill and work in the yard. 

ie, people semi-permanently park their RV their to spend weekends in the local wilds hunting and fishing?

I have the comps, but when it comes to evaluating the construction process, I'm a fish out of water.

You can either buy a fish with that 12K, or you can invist in a kick *** fishing pole, some shimp and learn how to fish!

I love using my free time to be outdoors with friends and family, surfing and fishing.

But what if you’re starting out, it’s your first deal and deals are scarce (in this high inflationary environment)?
