To me a true wholesale fail is one where the homeowmer loses. Strung along with empty promises, long weasle clauses as 'partners' trample through the property with little to no earnest money down..

The operator may lose a little time and effort, or not make enough to brag about here in success stories, but it's the owners life and home that's being messed with. That's failure. 

The back stabbing and deal stealing between ya'll and stories of trying to wholesale MLS listings to each other are just comical!
