It is just so time consuming.  

Rather than just closing a modest bunch of good deals a year, the average investor will take a shot at fair deals that consume their time.

Water/ sewer/ garbage is about the same cost for a 500 square foot unit as it is for a 3,500 square foot house, so utilities become a bigger percentage of total rent and costs with smaller units.Collecting rent is time consuming.

If it's a real bargain, by the time you see it on the consumer internet sites it will be gone.

I took some time off from from BP because I was working for an investor that consumed all hours even my sleep haha.

These websites we're discussing here - HomeAway, Airbnb, VRBO - are exactly the same thing, with the minor exception that they have introduced a limited, consumer-level hospitality PMS (property management system).

The average consumer that purchases a car about every 3-5 years or a good car salesperson the sells about 5-10 in a month?

- In my opinion, in-class training is very time consuming, and all you do is go over the book with no real world application of knowledge.

There are times that wholesalers run into buyers that are tire-kickers and are unable to close and this makes for a difficult and time consuming situation.

And yeah I have a few providers I'm interested in doing deals with and I've talked to quite a lot of people who've dealt with them.
