Thank yall for all of the positive energy.

Energy is super charged but deals are harder to come by and the questions that people raise also evolved as a result. 

Focusing on trying to get good deals in every market is what I spend my energy on. 

Generally speaking, the best agents only work with people who commit to working with them through some kind of Buyer Agency agreement, so that they are guaranteed to be paid for all the time and energy they’ve invested with you IF they are successful in helping you close on a deal.

Forums, FB groups, virtual meet-ups are great but they dont provide the push, the energy, and the inspiration that comes from 1 on 1 contact. 

Also, keep in mind that the published 6.8% inflation rate does not include food or energy.  

California commercial energy rate: $.2275/kWh.

Depending on your costs and what you would have to charge I can't see tenants paying more to you to provide energy than they would the utility so there would have to be a savings.  

I think BP is good for newbs to network, build energy, and yeah--to an extent, to rip off and duplicate the "magic formulas" stumbled upon by others.1.

Sandra, for most people wholesaling is a colossal waste of time and energy.
