The condos I'm looking at will not qualify for a normal FHA loan because the high percentage of renters and investor owned.

but "progressive" meaning that higher earners progressively pay a larger percentage of their income to taxes.They do already. 

Great support and will generate leads for you for a percentage of commissions.

Does anyone know of any sponsoring brokers who would be open to doing a flat fee or comission percentage and sponsor a new broker who has the intent to wholesale properties?

California may be different but you're usually looking for a specific multiple or percentage of monthly rent compared to income.

"Last week, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac said that they would charge lenders an extra 0.50 percentage point to buy most types of refinancings that they back.

Hi all,I am new to the US rental market and have a few questions.The item expenses, to be deducted from the gross monthly rent in order to achieve the NOI/cap rate/net gain, etc. is for me the biggest obstacle when trying to decide on any investment.Unfortunately, it is not often possible to arrive at a reliable figure/percentage, I have seen many vendors/operators give vastly different estimates.As a general rule of thumb, I would be inclined to think that it could be anything from 30% (minimum) to 50% or over.

Our understanding with capital gains is that unless you occupy a home for two out of five years you will be taxed a pretty high percentage of what you have earned, so if this is true it seems wholesaling wouldn’t be worth the hassle unless you found a killer deal.

If you wanted to go long term buy and hold and not have to put large percentages down expanding your range to North and South SLO County could be beneficial. 

That said, it should be more about your ROI as a percentage rather than a dollar amount.
