@Christine Sparks and @Patty Capson  I'll add you both to the mastermind group. 

THAT capital will reinforce a pricing floor on "safe" assets with meaningful risk adjusted returns.

If anything, due to fear, rates will continue to climb down, and that will spark interest from home buyers.

And areas with abundant low priced homes are prime areas .. those in much higher priced areas will find wholesaling to be somewhat more difficult.. not that some don't make a good run at it.. but you need a lot of money up front for marketing if your going to make any meaningful amount of money. 

@Marc RoseA man who goes on the radio every night and calls everyone stupid and says things like it's basic freaking math, then gives advice contrary to the math is going to spark debate.

It has sparked some new initiatives across the country.
