I operate in Cleveland county, Davidson county predominantly in the Denton area and Johnston County out toward McGee's crossroads.

There are so many new things that we can teach a new hire in a training burn so they can see it before there first real fire.

It all depends on how many workers are there, certainly 1 person cant consume $5,000/week when he is only painting, or it only takes 1 day for 2 persons to install a 4 appliances that values at $1,500 each.That is why the contractors are here because investors don't have the skills to operate renovation, if they did, why hire a contractor?

And since those areas aren't zoned for nightly rentals, then whoopsy, you couldn't operate a legal vacation rental biz there. 

The response rate is low and your conversion rate is about that of any direct mail/telemarketing operation (i.e. dismal).

If you want to be a listing machine, which if you are good at selling cars you more than likely would be good at selling houses, then find a company that offers lots of training and support. 

I feel like the yellow letter type marketing is such a fly by night operation.

For me, who knows very little about how to operate a hammer, the answer is--nothing.

I'm trying to get a wholesaler to show me a legitimate wholesaling operation.

From what I know, if you are managing other property besides your own you must have a RE license and operate under a broker in MN as you are dealing with legal contracts.
