Not necessarily BP members as they see real estate through a completely different lens..   

This book offers good insight into what free market capitalism actually is and provides some opportunities to evaluate markets, policies, and economics through a different lens.

There are still consequences in this country, except for some of the highest offices in the land ;)Try not to look at everything from a liberal or conservative lens - 50% of the population is not responsible for everything bad in this world.

From a micro lens, the opportunity for job growth definitely exists, disconnected from the establishment of government jobs.

@Michael Kugler I started with cell phone pics, moved to a DSLR and then just recently got a wide angle lens, and not only have the photos improved and inquiries increased but I've been able to take accurate pictures of spaces I couldn't have gotten before.

That said, looking at property strictly through the lens of cash flow completely discount the three other wealth generators that make investing in real estate so totally awesome (appreciation, tax savings, loan paydown/equity build up)!

(you should be licensed or have someone on your team who is).If you are only looking at these opportunities thru a "single lens" - i.e., just wholesaling with the an aggressive "ARV x 65% - repairs" formula, you will see less opportunity in your leads.The other issue is your ability to gain trust and negotiate.
