Appraisal when buying from a wholesaler using hard money

[Radin Mirshahi]

Trying to buy a wholesale deal using hard money.

Hard money lenders require appraisal.  

Wholesalers that I have looked at, do not seem to allow or like the idea of appraisal.  Interestingly, they say you can use hard money to buy deals from them....

How do you resolve this gap? What has been your experience?  I sure don't want to sign a contract and then lose my earnest money because the deal can't close!  Thanks in advance.
