Why do wholesalers post photos of their checks on FB?

[Adam Schneider]

I am a member of various wholesaling groups on Facebook, and always see wholesalers who love to post photos of the checks for the deals they did. Why would I ever want to do business with someone who posts photos of the checks? I never want people with whom I do business to feel that I'm taking unfair advantage of them--it's a long-term approach about building a brand, for sure. I'm in business to make a profit, but would rather have strong potential for future business. One reason sellers sell through investors vs. MLS is that they value discretion--let's be thoughtful about that.

And, if I'm purchasing a home from another wholesaler, I hardly enjoy having that wholesaler post about his/her profit on our deal. I don't really care if that wholesaler makes a lot or a little on the deal as long as it works for me--I just want the business transaction to have minimal publicity. Am I off base on these opinions?

Sounds like they're ego hounds. I agree with you; much like football players who go crazy when scoring a touchdown, these folks should "act like they've been there before".
