Wholesale Contract, I know you get this a lot but I have a sample
I live in Texas, and I've heard of the TREC 20-12 but its 9 pages and I've seen a lot of wholesaler's just locking up contracts with a simple but yet effective 1 page Contract,
I looked around the web and found these two contracts, let me know what you think on these and if I can combine them and make a better one
